Kurt Kotrschal is not a scientist who sits in an ivory tower and occasionally shares the results of his work with the public. He is eloquent, writes, interferes, organizes the highly regarded Biologicum in Almtal, Upper Austria, and always takes a stand on current issues from a behavioral perspective. The renowned Austrian biologist and behavioral scientist recently published two very interesting books: “Mensch. Where do we come from, who we are, where we are going ”, published by Brandstätter Verlag and Residenzverlag published“ Can we still save people? Dangers and opportunities of our nature ”.
