We are very proud and a little bit sad to announce our 100th, and final, Humankind profile, which appears at the end of this edition (of course, how could it be anyone else)? We will be wrapping up the entire thing with an editorial next week, so keep an eye out for that; we'll also be announcing what comes next to replace it!
