The Neanderthal Museum Where today one of the most popular and modern museums in Europe stands, 150 years ago the Neanderthals who gave the area its name were discovered. In the Düssel valley, which was enclosed in those days by steep cliffs, workers discovered bones whilst quarrying for chalk. These were identified by Wuppertal teacher and naturalist Fuhlrott as the skeletal remains of an Ice Age person - the Neanderthal was born. Today the Neanderthal is a real world star. Everybody knows him - everybody has a mental picture of him. The museum and its exhibition have won many national and international awards. Not least because of its multimedia presentations with impressive staging of exhibits, audio material, films and interactive PCs which allow every visitor, both large and small, to have a varied and exciting museum visit. The numerous reconstructions are particularly impressive, which have been realistically recreated by means of the most up-to-date pathology procedures. If the visitor expects to be solely confronted with the Neanderthals, then they would be wrong. The visitor is taken on a journey through time through the history of the human race - from the beginnings on the African savannah over 4 million years ago up to the present day. Besides simply visiting the museum, it's also worthwhile visiting the site of the findings and the nearby the Ice Age game reserve. Wild horses, aurochs and bison were successfully reared here.
CRC 806 The CRC 806 - Our Way To Europe- concerns the history of mankind. We specifically intend to approach this with a combination of geoscientific and archaeological methods. Population dynamics and dispersal processes contributed essentially to the transmission of ideas, techniques, cultural behaviour and the formation of human societies. Major events in the history of mankind resulted due to dispersal processes. Human agency, climate and environment were certainly among the principal factors driving population mobility. Explanatory models require data, indicating to which extent single events of migration and dispersal were either supported or limited by environmental conditions in the source areas, corridors and target areas of population movements.
