The Human Lab explores the strange, fascinating, and sometimes surprisingly flawed biology of being human. From regeneration and neuroscience to evolution, physiology, biochemistry, and bioengineering, each episode takes a familiar feature of the human body and asks a deeper question: Why are humans built like this?

We’ll break down the science, trace the evolutionary trade-offs behind our biology, and explore how modern science and bioengineering might one day redesign what evolution gave us.

Built by evolution. Questioned by science.
