We are a restless, world-changing species. We are the only organism
that combines a multitude of abilities to harness the rules of
nature, continuously manipulating our environment, its resources
and even our own bodies to fit our ever-changing needs and desires.
What is it that enables us to share some 99 percent of DNA as well
as some basic behaviors with other organisms, yet at the same time
be so different and powerful?Coalescing understandings driven from
biology, psychology, anthropology, history and more, Ben David
addresses the above question using a new paradigm: The Gordian knot
between five human traits - imagination, creative making, complex
communication, change and intergenerational transfer - evolutionary
developed and co-amplified as the ultra-complex system called Homo
sapiens. Weaving personal stories with professional experience, Ben
David narrates innovative definitions of technology, education,
science and their co-dependence; emphasizes their roles in the
development of human societies; deliberates their implications on
everyday life; discusses the crucial role of science education; and
offers a fresh look at who we are as the leading species on this
planet.Dr Liat Ben David is the CEO of the Davidson Institute of
Science Education, the educational arm of Israel's acclaimed
Weizmann Institute of Science. She holds a PhD in Molecular Biology
and has more than 30 years of experience in the field of STEM
education. Ben David teaches regularly in various spheres,
including academia and TEDx; she is an accomplished author who has
