We Have Never Been Human: Or Why We Have Always Been Something Else boldly reimagines what it means to be human, challenging the traditional notions that bind our identity to biology and culture. From ancient mythologies to modern technologies, this book reveals a dynamic, ever-evolving human identity shaped by external forces and technological advancements.
Blending insights from philosophy, technology studies, anthropology, and cultural critique, We Have Never Been Human: Or Why We Have Been Something Else offers an interdisciplinary exploration of our constructed identities and what they portend for the future of society. It raises essential questions: How has technology reshaped our self-perception? Are humans fixed beings, or are we endlessly evolving? What ethical, social, and political challenges arise as we integrate with intelligent machines?
This book is a compelling read for those intrigued by the intersection of humanity and technology, offering profound insights into the essence of what it means to be human―or perhaps, what it means to evolve beyond the human.

Juan de Dios Vázquez holds a Doctorate and Master’s degree in Latin American
Studies from Harvard University, a Master’s degree in Critical Theory from the

New York University. For five consecutive years, he was honored with the Derek Bok
Award for Excellence in Teaching as a lecturer at Harvard University, and has also

Juan de Dios is also the author of several academic publications, a weekly columnist,
and the host of the program El Vecino Incómodo, where he interviews prominent
politicians, artists, and intellectuals on pressing global issues.
In the public sector, he served as Minister at the Mexican Embassy in Washington, D.C.,
representing Mexico before the World Customs Organization (OMA) and acting as
Permanent Secretary of the Multilateral Agreement on Customs in Latin America,

global trade relations, achieving technical consolidation of six bilateral customs
cooperation agreements and advancing negotiations on 30 similar agreements. His
leadership also saw the implementation of programs to promote Green Customs,
protect cultural heritage, and support micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.
