Human biology, in terms of organization of our brains and our evolutionary past, constrains and enables learning. Two examples where neurobiology and evolution influences learning are given and discussed in relation to education: mirror neurons and adaptive memory.

Additionally, the aim is to contribute to bridges between natural and social sciences in an
attempt to achieve an improved understanding of learning. The relevance of perspectives on learning founded in biology are discussed, and the art
