In this lecture, Dr. Raymond Tallis sets out the reasons for believing that humans are profoundly different from non-human animals, including even our nearest primate kin. He argues against the popular view that humans are identical with our evolved brains and that persons are to be understood in Darwinian terms.
Dr. Edward Slingerland, Professor of Philosophy at the University of British Columbia, offers a response to Dr. Tallis' lecture.
