  • Edoardo Boncinelli

Abstract

Experimental psychology, neurosciences, and evolutionist biology have obliged us to reconsider ab imo what man is, and to focus on the true essence of the human nature and its specificity. To the reader is left a resentful despair and a proud assumption of responsibility.
