Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology

By Team WissensSpuren und MPI EVA

The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI EVA) was founded in 1997. Researchers from over 30 countries and different disciplines work in seven departments. Their common goal is to explore the history of humanity from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Outreach

In the foyer of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, a permanent exhibition invites visitors to learn more about the Institute’s interdisciplinary research. In addition, the Institute regularly hosts public events such as lectures and panel discussions on its own research topics and on current topics of social relevance. The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology offers information and training opportunities for pupils, teachers and other interested parties, in particular regular guided tours of the Wolfgang Köhler Primate Research Centre (aka Pongoland) at Leipzig Zoo.
