Part III - Biosocial Humans
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 October 2022
Summary
How is new scientific knowledge, as well as its popularization and application in various biomedical technologies, changing ideas of what it means to be human in the 21st century? These include the reworking of long-established ideas of biological determinism in understanding both health and behaviour. The pandemic is shifting these discourses and the way in which we value the life of different humans, reinforcing existing social divisions and creating new ones.
