Humans as Emergent Beings
Humans are a prime example of emergence. At the biological level, individual cells and neurons interact following simple rules, which give rise to complex features like consciousness and self-awareness. Beyond individual biology, human behavior and society emerge from interactions among people. Social norms, culture, and collective intelligence are not inherent in any single person but arise from the dynamic interplay of many individuals. In this way, humans exemplify how complex systems can exhibit properties that transcend the capabilities of their individual components.
