Many animals have the ability to sense magnetic fields. From an evolutionary perspective, it seems clear that magnetic reception is a sensory ability which dates back 600-900 million years. There are even signs that this ability dates back to 2 billion years ago, when the first complex cells on Earth were being formed. Despite the known presence of magnetic field sensitivity in fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and even several mammals, humans seem to be an exception. If humans truly are an exception it would imply that this useful ability was lost relatively recently in our evolutionary history. If this were the case, it could be possible that traces of this lost ability persist today. It is clear that the final word on the existence of human magnetic reception has yet to be written. Humans Seem to Be an Exception' is a documentary project about the phenomenon Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS). People with EHS claim sensitivity and attribute symptoms to exposure to various sources of electromagnetic radiation humans have introduced in our present-day living environment. Radiation sources like WiFi, antennae facilitating cell phone usage and our mobile phones themselves, Bluetooth but also the electrical wiring in our houses, household electronics, etc. Decades of research have already been conducted into possible side-effects of this radiation. Still, to date, no conclusive proof of a clear, causal relationship between exposure and health problems is deemed to have been found. EHS, therefore, remains unrecognized as an existing condition. The disease finds itself on uncertain ground. According to the scientific consensus, it is considered a psychosomatic manifestation where the brain turns the body sick rather than an external influence. At the same time, it is continuously under research by this same scientific world that labels it as unreal. Until a definitive answer is found, EHS exists on both sides of this real/unreal question. What is certain is that the phenomenon is the consequence of a disrupted harmony. Either between our bodies and the technology we are creating. Perhaps those with EHS are a canary in the coal mine for our unstoppable hunger for stronger & faster technology having overtaken our biology. That we are inventing faster than we are discovering the true impact of what we create. Or EHS could be seen as a sign of and ever increasing loss of trust in "the industry" that drives this technological progress. An industry of which we know it is driven by financial motives in the first place, rather than altruistic ones. Perhaps the distrust is growing so big that some become convinced that this industry would be willing to sacrifice our well-being on a mass scale, a fear fueled by various scandals that came to light in the past decades.
