The Leipzig School of Human Origins

An International Max Planck Research School - by the University of Leipzig and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology

The Leipzig School of Human Origins offers a unique graduate program that combines different disciplines to study the evolutionary history of humans and the great apes. Prospective graduate students will specialize in one of the following directions:

• Comparative and Molecular Primatology
• Evolutionary and Functional Genomics, Ancient DNA, Molecular Anthropology and Genome Bioinformatics
• Human Paleontology, Prehistoric Archaeology and Archaeological Science

Graduate students will be accepted to one of these areas but will have the opportunity to take part in courses and seminars in all of them.

To hear some of the researchers in the program talking about their work, see Evidence: A Case Study in Human Origins from the Exploratorium, San Francisco.
