Nick Ross was a 26-year-old budding comedy star when he heard three fateful words that changed his life forever: YOU HAVE CANCER. Highly Evolved Human is a funny, endearing and powerful film that tells the true story of an incredibly talented writer-performer navigating twenty-something life, while battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. It is called Highly Evolved Human because when he was going through chemo and lost his hair, Nick thought that he looked very futuristic.
