means A school of thought that questions human exceptionalism and imagines what comes after — or alongside — the human, as technology, ecology, and other minds reshape what 'human' even means.

from Built from Latin post 'after' and humanism, the Renaissance-era tradition that placed human reason and dignity at the center of all things. Posthumanism emerged in the late 20th century — gaining real traction in academic circles in the 1990s — partly as a critique of that old humanist confidence, and partly in response to cybernetics, biotechnology, and animal studies all pushing at the edges of what counts as 'human.' It's less about robots replacing us (that's transhumanism's job) and more about dethroning the human as the measure of all things.
