Cognitive psychologist Tania Lombrozo explores humans’ unique storytelling ability and how these "stories", or explanations, are central to our sense of understanding the world around us. The Leakey Foundation presents Being Human, a live event mixing short talks from great minds with fun hands-on experiments, drinks, conversation and storytelling. Each event investigates different aspects of our evolution, our behavior, and the human experience.
