Musician, writer and science fiend Dessa explores the hidden motors that drive human experience and behavior. Why do we get déjà vu? Why are we attracted to symmetrical faces? Why do we listen to music that makes us sad? Why is the female orgasm still such a mystery to sex researchers?

Here are tender and moving personal stories as well as the latest scientific and psychological understanding of human nature. All combined at times with fits of laughter and just plain puzzlement. Deeply Human finds out what we all want to know: why do you do what you do?
