Man is a primate. He is a tool-making, culture-creating ape, highly engaged in competition, cooperation, and communication with his fellow flock members, just as the rest of his relatives. But is he more than this? If so: What are the uniquely human behaviours, social practices, and psychological structures that make man particularly human? The special characteristics of the human mind, so to speak.

Relevant data and theoretical considerations from a broad range of sciences are piling up, contributing to the puzzle of what makes us human. This inter-disciplinary conference is being held to pick up the thread with regard to a general overview.

The programme committee invites researchers from various areas such as psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, archaeology, primatology, philosophy, and the scientific study of religion to submit their empirical or theoretical studies on these issues.

Proceedings will be published and a special anthology edited including keynote papers and chapters summing up the conclusions reached.
