What are humans? The question almost never asked (and never answered) by anyone

Anthropologists and sociologists (at least) might be expected to have attempted an answer to the question ‘What are humans?’. But they have not. It is a vaunting, daunting question, but it is worth exploring, even if the exploration is frustrating. This lecture looks at the question through a number of lenses, suggests the least unsatisfactory answer, and goes on to ask what this answer means for the way that we should live as individuals and the way we should structure our societies.
