Uomini, scimmie e discorsi di altra natura. A colloquio con Giorgio Manzi

From the« missing link» to current taxonomy revolution of the post genomic era, differences as well as similarities between humans and anthropoid apes had been played a fundamental role in evolutionary studies. The text of the interwiew is excerpted from two long conversations with Giorgio Manzi, paleoanthropologist of the University «Sapienza», that offers a reflexive focus on the «state of art» in bio-anthropological studies. In particular, Manzi discusses some important themes that inform his work, as the social role of the anthropologist in dissemination of scientific knowledge.
