The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology

The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology is a research center in Germany dedicated to studying human origins and evolution. Scientists here examine fossil remains, DNA, and artifacts to understand how ancient humans and their relatives lived, migrated, and interacted over millions of years. The institute combines fields like anthropology, genetics, archaeology, and linguistics to uncover insights about our evolutionary history. Their work helps us understand what makes humans unique and how we have adapted over time, contributing to a broader understanding of human diversity and our place in nature.
