Ancien médecin militaire, le chercheur a conduit une carrière scientifique en marge des institutions académiques, avec une prédilection pour les anthropophages du passé.
Bruno Boulestin, an anthropologist specializing in prehistoric cannibalism, had an independent career outside academic institutions. The Grotte des Perrats, discovered in 1981 due to badgers, yielded important bones, propelling Boulestin into prominence. Today, the cave shows signs of badgers but is rarely visited by archaeologists.
