What does it mean to be human? More importantly, what does it mean to be? Sentience, consciousness, sapience is not dependent on the 'human condition'. I like to see it like this: we are sentient beings having a human experience. If we are to evolve as a species, there must be a 'paradigm shift' of the human experience. The creature 'mankind' will be in a million years, (assuming we live that long) will mostly probably be shockingly different from what it is now. Simply observe the shifts in morality in the last 400 years, and you'll realize that the structures with which we govern our lives are very flexible. Once we realize this, we can break free.
