The topic matters less than the content of your essay. You'll notice that most college essay topics are extremely broad, allowing you to go in many directions. Your question sounds interesting for sure, but be careful that you don't get too philosophical in a general sense. You still want to talk about you and your life.

What makes us human sounds like a very good question for admissions officers because it would allow you to show your character and way more depth, but I am wondering who gonna care if you switch? If it’s your college, see if you can speak to your character but if the current prompt isn’t gonna help your application then you should go with what makes us human, I kinda just wrote this so you could hear someone else’s opinion on what you should do and it can be summarized as do whatever would make your essay much stronger.

If it is from a psychological perspective, they would be able to.
