Johannes Krause: Migrationsgeschichte aus der Steinzeit

In the organizer's words:

Over 45,000 years ago, modern humans and Neanderthals lived side by side in Europe. Who were these early Europeans? And why did they - like the Neanderthals - disappear around 40,000 years ago? Thanks to international collaboration between geneticists, archaeologists and anthropologists, recent studies are now providing fascinating insights into this early period of human history. Johannes Krause presents the latest findings from genetic studies on the oldest human genomes and embarks on a fascinating search for traces of our origins.

Prof. Dr. Johannes Krause is Director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. He was involved in deciphering the genetic material of Neanderthals and in 2010 was the first to identify a new human form, Denisova man, using genetic data from a Siberian fossil.
