Johannes Krause is rewriting the history of humanity. As an archaeogeneticist, he examines the genetic makeup of our ancestors and has even discovered a new type of human. He talks to Yves Bossart about where humans really come from and how much of the primitive human is still in humans today. ????

In 2010, Johannes Krause discovered a new type of human based on a tiny finger boil from Siberia, the so-called "Denisovan" - a relative of the Neanderthal. But as we know, only homo sapiens prevailed. But why? And how did humans become what they are today? Johannes Krause investigates these questions. He is a professor of archaeogenetics in Jena, heads the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig and is considered a scientific shooting star when it comes to the history of humanity. Krause can not only explain why humans walk on two legs, but also why they are descended from Russian immigrants, why European women have white skin, why there is no biological basis for racial classification and why humans still carry Neanderthal genes. Yves Bossart speaks to the bestselling author about the journey of humanity, from its beginnings to the present day, and also asks: Will the primal human urge for expansion soon be our undoing?
