Beyond what limit will our humanity be exceeded?

Biologically, technologically, philosophically?

Open question in the new exhibition of the Musée de l'Homme:

At the borders of the human.

Advertising

Do we ask beyond what limits will our humanity be exceeded?

Biologically, technologically, and philosophically: almost everything has become possible to repair, increase, improve and hybridize humans.

How can what once seemed like science fiction become reality?

But above all, is it desirable?

What do we want to become as human, and collectively as humanity: united or at two speeds?

What limits should we impose beyond which humans (and with them living beings on our planet) risk getting lost…?
