Well, I’ll get us started. Bad answer better than no answer. You bear a family resemblance to the rest of humanity You seek and have the experience of life (btw if you’re looking for the meaning of life you’re really looking for the experience of life) You are governed by human instincts You think and feel

Every time we've tried to define it by a single trait, we find that it exists elsewhere in the animal world. Tool construction and use? Complex and fluid social networks? Language? Theory of mind? Forethought and planning? Culture and society? All of them have been observed in other species. 1/

That's quite the question, but I don't think you can reasonably expect anything in depth here, unfortunately. You can view that question as underpinning the general umbrella to what we call "The Human Condition"; of which, various mediums - our literary canon, metaphysical texts, art - has been attempting to answer.

The need to individualize, sometimes to collectivize, the power to query the existences and feelings, and use our hands and tools to progress. It's a process of evolution in constant movement, but when we think about it, we become the place where nature becomes conscious of itself.
