The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, is a research center dedicated to understanding human origins and evolution. It combines fields like genetics, archaeology, and anthropology to study ancient humans, their ancestors, and how different populations have changed over time. The institute conducts excavation, analyzes ancient DNA, and develops theories about human history, helping us better understand where we come from and how we evolved. It collaborates internationally and contributes to scientific knowledge about human diversity, migration, and adaptation.
