A New Statesman Essential Non-Fiction Book of 2021What kind of
creature is a human? If we don't know what we are, how can we know
how to act? In Being a Human Charles Foster sets out to understand
what a human is, inhabiting the sensory worlds of humans at three
pivotal moments in our history. Foster begins his quest in a wood
in Derbyshire with his son, shivering, starving and hunting, trying
to find a way of experiencing the world that recognises the deep
expanse of time when we understood ourselves as hunter-gatherers,
indivisible from the non-human world, and when modern consciousness
was first ignited. From there he travels to the Neolithic, when we
tamed animals, plants and ourselves, to a way of being defined by
walls, fences, farms, sky gods and slaughterhouses, and finally to
the rarefied world of the Enlightenment, when we decided that the
universe was a machine and we were soulless cogs within it.
