The Human Project is an organization founded by Erika Ilves and Anna Stillwell, which aims to advance the future of our species in the face of emerging problems and opportunities. After a wildly successful crowd-funding campaign, the Human Project has published an e-book and created a free app that serves as a sort of database of challenges facing the human species and a platform from which to address those issues. 

According to the organization’s website, these initiatives will serve as a “conversation starter” centered around questions such as: Who are we, humans? Who should we become? Where should we head next?

In addition to creating this digital dialogue about our future, the Human Project ultimately seeks to set an agenda for the future, track our progress, and experiment with new ways to accomplish shared goals. In the process, it seeks to build a unified cultural force ready to mobilize and tackle our greatest challenges.
