What Is a Human?

This book synthesizes recent research across multiple disciplines to challenge our understanding of human nature, exploring the interconnectedness of bioanthropology, neuroscience, language, and culture. James Paul Gee presents a personal philosophy that considers humans as social, collective, and historical beings, highlighting how societal institutions may be based on misconceptions about our true nature. The work encourages reflection on fundamental questions about identity and society, with implications for issues like climate change, institutions, and cultural diversity.
