Why Am I Like This?
Being a human can be weird. Even when everything is "normal" (whatever that means), you might not always get what your body is doing…or why. Dr. Tina Lasisi, full-time biological anthropologist and part-time human, is here to help you make sense of how and why our bodies do what they do.

Why Am I Like This? Episode 8 | 7m 48s | CC
Dr. Tina Lasisi has strange encounters with the production team and notices their voices are quite...different. Is there a glitch in the matrix, or is this our final episode of 'Why Am I Like This?'— In this episode, Dr. Lasisi talks us through how the structure of our vocal tract produces sound, how accents are learned, and why we seem to be the only species to "speak."
