Article on Malin Wilckens' research published in GEO

Today, the work of our colleague Malin Wilckens is being featured in an online article by GEO.de. The interview by Manuel Opitz, entitled “Fresh skulls were too bloody to send immediately,” sheds light on the handling of human remains since the 18th century. It focuses on Malin Wilckens' research, which examines how skulls were collected, shipped, and used to classify people around the world.
