Description

If you thought you knew who you were, THINK AGAIN.

Did you know that half your DNA isn't human That somebody, somewhere has exactly the same face Or that most of your memories are fiction

What about the fact that you are as hairy as a chimpanzee, various parts of your body don't belong to you, or that you can read other people's minds Do you really know why you blush, yawn and cry Why 90 per cent of laughter has nothing to do with humour Or what will happen to your mind after you die

You belong to a unique, fascinating and often misunderstood species. How to be Human is your guide to making the most of it.
