What does it mean to be a human being? When Jane Goodall discovered chimpanzees could effectively use tools and had complex social bonds she challenged the idea of human exceptionalism. But we are exceptional... aren't we? What does it mean to be a Human Person, a Human Animal? Imagination? Morality? And what does it mean to be made in the Image and Likeness of God? On this episode we celebrate and explore the dignity of human person and our place in Creation.
