Emiliano Bruner, paleoneurobiologist: With this big brain, we are intelligent and sad monkeys'
Briefly

Evolution is only interested in one thing: procreating and perpetuating the species, says paleoneurobiologist Emiliano Bruner. Nothing more. It does not care about our suffering or our emotional discomfort, only about our reproduction.
Evolution does not care about our well-being, but rather our evolutionary success, the scientist concludes. The journey of Homo sapiens, with eight billion individuals, is an evolutionary success compared to other hominids or species like cockroaches.
Bruner, a paleobiologist, specializes in visuospatial integration. He suggests humans may have brains larger than needed for their size, causing conflicts as the brain overthinks while the body suffers.
