Resources for Being a Human: Homo Sapiens—the Storytelling Animal

What distinguishes human beings from the millions of other animal species on Earth, including the 5,000+ mammal species and 200 hundred or so primate species? Many traits once believed to belong to humans alone, such as language, complex social organization, and warfare, have been found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. But we alone write books, make movies---tell stories. And we alone do science. And aren’t storytelling and science related? In both, we imagine things about the world and develop a narrative that is coherent, consistent, and explanatory. Today our technology allows all of us to become instant authors and film directors. We can tell our stories to people all around the world—and we can find stories from people all around the world. But storytelling is an art—even when the story is about science. Here are some resources that will help you learn the art of science and storytelling.
