I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Disease Zone. It has scientists studying the causes and processes of illness . Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
eeeeeeh, last time I checked I think we were still human!
By the time we have robotic implants doing all the thinking for us…I think that might be when we evolve into something new!

Last I looked we were still human, but here’s a thought – if we’d evolved into something new would we realise it?? 🙂

We’re still human, but we’re still evolving! In fact, did you know that in the last 10,000 years our brains have evolved to be much smaller than they used to be? True story. Don’t worry, though; it doesn’t mean that we’re getting dumber. The idea that ‘big brain equals smart’ is a lot more complicated than that; it turns out that in many species (including humans), measuring our smarts by our brain size is pretty useless.
In general, I can tell you this without burying you in details: we’re still evolving, and in some cases we’re evolving really quickly. For instance, if you can drink milk, you can thank recent evolution for that.
Are we still human? Yes. And for reasons that I can’t really cover here, we’re going to be human for the foreseeable future; leave a comment if you’re feeling brave and want more explanation! 🙂

Dear sarahb; You have many interesting questions and I enjoy them. I was wondering what kind of answer you really expect. would Sarahb has any doubt of us ‘HUMAN?’, etc.
To be safe with the definition of ‘human’, I searched internet and found this among many; ‘A person who can walk, talk, take a bath, eat with a utensil, brush it’s own hair or even drive a car. If you are reading this, you are a human. https://answers.ask.com/Society/Philosophy/what_is_human ‘
However, it doen’t have any mention of inside of the human. Nowadays we find so many brutal crimes in the newspaper, I wonder those criminals are really ‘human’.
