Verb? I don't know where you got that idea but it's a noun.

no a verb is an action, a doing word. "being" from "to be" is a verb. However, "human being" is a person/thing so that is a noun!

It's a noun.. To make into a verb, transpose: "Being Human"

It is a noun, but because the word being has another meaning it is used creatively as a verb.

Eg, Human is merly being, it is becoming - Michael Franti.
