This unusual film visualizes along contemporary film documents, authentic photos, of Koenigswald’s moving correspondence with colleagues in Asia, Europe and America. We embark on an inspiring search for traces of human history: Where do humans come from? How is the rise of Homo sapiens to be explained? What makes us “Higher Order Mammals?”
The film is followed by a discussion with Oliver G. Becker, Frankfurt (Drehbuch & Regie); Mika Puspaningrum (Institut Teknologi, Bandung, Indonesien); Christine Hertler (Forschungsprojekt ROCEEH, Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften); Albrecht Graf von Kalnein (Werner Reimers-Stiftung, Bad Homburg); Diskussionsleitung: Michael Stang, Köln. link to film: koenigswald-lecture
