Origin and diversity of humankind: 6-part YouTube series online! History and Future of palaeoanthropological research
The annual G.H.R. von Koenigswald Lecture 2020 is replaced by a series of 6 videos. You can find the 6 episodes on the Senckenberg Youtube Channel or here on this site!
The new video series is based on the story of Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald, the German-Dutch palaeoanthropologist who discovered early human fossils on Java in the first half of the last century.
In honour of GHR v Koenigswald, more than 40 colleagues from all over the world outline in homemade videos their research activities to decipher the early history of humankind until today, and explain how palaeoanthropological research contributes to our understanding of evolution and the biocultural diversity of humans living today.
