MEET THE SCIENTISTS

Katerina Douka and Tom Higham about their "love for human origins"

The archaeologists Katerina Douka and Tom Higham examine ancient fragments and bones to better understand how humans evolved. In two videos, the radiocarbon dating experts explain their research – and why fun is an important part of it.
Unraveling Anhedonia

How ketamine can work against depression

Ancient History

Antique PR tools: The making of the Church

Vladimir Ivanovici analyses how a Christian elite – the bishops – used emotions to promote the Church, change society and gain more power. The bishops offered Christian alternatives to polytheistic practices and promoted them with methods not so different from the ones used on social media today.

The ancient DNA under our feet

Traces of human life are not only found in fossils but also in sediments. In the video, doctoral candidate Victoria Oberreiter explains how she develops new methods to retrieve ancient DNA from "dirt" to get a better insight into our past.

Autism research

Every brain is different

Our society has clear ideas about how pro-social behaviour and empathy are to be expressed. But the research of neuroscientist Giorgia Silani shows that people with certain personality traits, such as autism or alexithymia, understand different forms of expression.
Archaeological Science as Game-Changer

What ancient genes tell us about who we are

Using the latest scientific methods, Tom Higham and Katerina Douka from the University of Vienna want to solve a great mystery of human evolution: Why are we the only humans left?
Behavioural Biology

The art of hearing

We hear a sound of a moving object and automatically predict in which direction it travels. What is the process behind this survival tool? The project Dynamates conducts the first comparative study on dynamic auditory predictions with marmoset monkeys and humans.
Presenting... Sociologist Faime Alpagu

Migration Narratives

Migration shapes society: "In my research, I want to draw attention to the complexity of this phenomenon", says Faime Alpagu from the Vienna Doctoral School of Social Sciences. Watch the video to find out more about her research project.
