Anthropologists, biologists, and philosophers (among others) have all sought to answer the question, “what does it mean to be human?” Of the many potential answers to this question, please summarize and discuss the arguments put forward by the anthropologist Richard Klein (2008) and the biologist/philosopher Paul Ehrlich (2000, chaps 1 and 6) when they address this very same issue (both readings available in TED). What is the gist of each person’s argument? In what way, if any, are their arguments different and/or complementary? In the opinion of each author, is there a single characteristic, or set of characteristics (e.g., art, culture, technology, language, intelligence, etc.), that sets humans apart from other species? Please explain your answers.
