What Makes You So Special: The Puzzle of Human Uniqueness
When we sat down to plan our first issue of Nautilus, we asked ourselves a simple question. What is the biggest statement that science has made about humans and our place in the universe in the past few hundred years? The answer suggested itself immediately: it seems we’ve been told that we just aren’t very important.
This was a bit of a surprise. We’re fans of science, you see. And some of our best friends are people. Where was this narrative of mediocrity coming from, and, more importantly, w

But science also made a different kind of breakthrough in the last century: it began to map out, in a precise way, what we could not know.
Think about that. The sophistication of our observations, and our thinking, had grown to the point that they could expose the limits of knowledge itself. We began to glimpse the

The Story of Nautilus: Science, Math and Myth
Behold the humble nautilus. Just about a foot in diameter, it is a slow bottom-dweller with short tentacles that moves through the water with an unsteady wobble.
