Abstract
Philosopher Daniel Dennett talks about the origins of human beings. He states that contrary to the old notion that people are distinct from other organisms in that we have souls (or, as Descartes suggested, that we are "thinking things with a body"), humans are actually related to every other living thing on this planet. Professor Dennett observes that a human being is an enormous assembly of cells, each of which can be connected back to the first replicators on Earth.
