What makes us human is that we can adapt to anything, because we can think broadly and aren't limited to any one survival strategy like other animals are. We lost some of our humanity in the agrarian and later even more in the industrial revolution as it forced us to become increasingly specialized, so that each of us became like an isolated species of our own. That's why there is so little sense of community: we're no longer a part of humanity, but rather we're part of our vocation. All this makes it inevitable that we must move on to the next step of evolution: being merely human is no longer enough to allow us that freedom, that creativity. We must step outside of the human perspective to reconnect to that universal perspective that we lost. As soon as we do that, we've changed fundamentally to become something else entirely.
