    Science doesn’t define what humans are. Humans are, then science plays catch up to try and define what that even means. Science is a human endeavor, a framework of thought, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it cannot exist without humans thinking, talking about it and doing it.

      So if I ask you to define what a human is, you’re not going to draw at all from any previous scientific studies?

      I doubt it. Not to get too ontological, just saying science (biology, psychology, anthropology) very much do define what human is.
