What does it mean to be human? This FIG explores what it means to be a human being, and how humanness is shaped by biology (cells, genes, ecology, evolution) and culture (groups such as gender, class, family, nationality, religion, race), and how biology and culture are interconnected (health, food, opportunity, perception, circumstance).
