This work strives to define the human essence through the scientific method with the premise that the answer must be found in the biological foundations of the species (and its interaction with its surroundings, time, and—increasingly— technology). Macip names his attempt to link new science with philosophy rationalist biohumanism.
What differentiates us from other animals? What is special about our genes? How much room is there for freedom in a world governed by natural laws? Getting to know our genetic, biochemical, and cellular characteristics, in the context of history, culture, and evolution, can help us to understand ourselves better as a species and, paradoxically, allow us to transcend biological determinism. It is only with this self-knowledge that we will achieve more individual autonomy and organize a more commendable society.
