ABSTRACT

THE AMAZING HUMAN Th e preceding quote from Shakespeare eloquently describes the incredible capabilities of human beings. If you stop and think about it for moment, we really are amazing creatures. Our physical feats are quite varied. We can run, swim, and climb. But beyond this, we have the ability to perceive the world through senses like vision and audition, to think and solve problems, and to experience emotions such as joy and sadness. Th e list of such abilities goes on and on. How is it that we do all these things?
