Palaeoanthropology deals with human biology and its development in a geoecological, palaeontological, genetic and primatological context. 

The goal of this program is to convey a basic understanding of the anatomy of humans and hominids, functional morphology as well as the evolution of modern humans. Experts from the fields of primatology, osteology and genetics teach different theoretical and hands-on courses. 

Although some lectures and seminars are held in English, this program's official language is German - on the German website, you'll find further, more detailed information. A list of all courses taught in this program can be found at the Alma portal.
