Prof. Dr. Friedemann Schrenk
Head of the section paleoanthropology, Senckenberg Research Institute,
Professor at the Department of Paleobiology of Vertebrates at the Institute of Ecology, Evolution and diversity in the biological sciences department of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt a. M. In 2007 he became director of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Africa ( ZIAF /Goethe-University).

Friedemann Schrenk is a paleoanthropologist and Africa researcher with a passion. He deals primarily with questions regarding the origin and spread of the genus Homo and the African paleoecology. He relies on one thing: fossils. Therefore, Friedemann Schrenk travels several times a year for excavation work to Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. In addition to the research efforts Schrenk and his team have an important contribution by book publications and lectures. Interesting and clear - understandable for everybody - he describes the foundations of his work as a scientist and maintains communication with the general public. For this he was honored in 2006 with the Communicator Award of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
