Outside an appeal to some "soul", a human is a product of genes/nature (source code) and environment/nurture (input data), like any other living thing. Following its programming (to maintain internal state within certain parameters, ie. survive), when hungry, it eats (first seeking "food" if not immediately available). When it believes itself to be in danger, it attempts to protect itself, whether it be from the extreme of elements or other living things. It has the capability and urge to reproduce, or even to just make some kind of "impact", as an indirect means of "surviving" death. And it has the capacity to build tools and plan for the future, always doing what it takes to prolong said survival in whichever way it sees fit, whether it's participating in groups to gather/hunt more efficiently, or taking on a 9-5 job to earn a living for itself and perhaps its partner(s) and/or offspring.
All this is deterministically computable, given the availability of sufficient computational power, which in this case is the universe as we understand it. It boils down to logic.
