Human: The World Within Series
Human: The World Within takes a deep dive into the universe that's inside each and every one of us by exploring a shared biology that we often don't take the time to appreciate or understand. Heart, brain, eyes, blood, tears: Human uncovers not only the science behind how our bodies work, but how what's inside powers every moment of what we do out in the world. Personal profiles of people from around the globe become entry points into deeper stories about how the body's many systems function. The series takes six systems and charts a journey through their innerworkings: the nervous system, the circulatory system, the digestive system, the immune system, the sensory system, and the reproductive system. Experts at the cutting edge of science and medicine reveal how the amazing feats humans can perform trace back to the incredible resilience of the human body. Radiolab's Jad Abumrad narrates the journey through this universe within and reveals what makes us tick.
