What Makes Humans Unique?

This is a fascinating, illuminating, and myth-debunking lecture from neurologist Robert Sapolsky.  He goes through a number of features of our nature, shows how they are shared with other animals and how we take these features to another level.  And in the end it’s paradoxical and inspirational. It’s long but worth the time.

    Thanks for posting this, Dan… really enjoyed it, especially toward the end which was really inspirational – I may have to pick up one of his books.
