Palaeoanthropology

Windows into human diversity

GHR von Koenigswald and his paleoanthropological legacy


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.

Die Serie finden Sie auch auf unserem Youtube-Kanal “Senckenberg World”

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.
