Emiliano Bruner holds a PhD in Animal Biology from La Sapienza Università di Roma. Since 2007, he has been working at the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH) at Burgos. There, he conducts research on Hominid Paleoneurobiology, a discipline in which anthropology and neuroscience converge. He is also a research associate at the Centro de Investigación en Enfermedades Neurológicas (CIEN), at Madrid. In this interview, I talk with Dr. Bruner about evolution, brain and mind, cognitive superpowers (and their side effects), and the critical role that the body and environment play when we try to understand the keys to what makes us human.
