The Human Roots Award is an international archaeology award. It was created in 2017 and is awarded annually by MONREPOS - The Archaeological Research Centre and Museum of Human Behavioural Evolution at Schloss Monrepos near Neuwied.<\/p>

The prize is endowed with 10,000 Euros. Until June 2018, Professor Iren\u00e4us Eibl-Eibesfeldt - founder of modern human ethology - was the patron of the Human Roots Award. In July 2018, the world-renowned ethologist and evolutionary biologist Professor Richard Dawkins took over the patronage.<\/p>

The Human Roots Award honours archaeologists or scientists from associated\ndisciplines for achievements that have exerted extraordinary influence on the understanding of our behavioural evolution. The aim of the award is to promote interdisciplinary scientific dialogue and public awareness of the relevance of insights from the study of BecomIng Human for the future of humanity.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
