Steinbearbeitung als ein Ausgangspunkt der kulturellen Evolution
The first part of this study deals with the formation of the first stone artifacts in the Palaeolithic period, beginning a good 3.3 million years ago.

The range of forms of the various artifacts is briefly mentioned, their presumed… Read More
Meditationen an Zweiseitern
The biface (handaxe) speaks directly to our artistic sensibilities. Their beauty is now also being noticed in paleoanthropological research. Nevertheless, these artifacts, which were carved over a period of approximately 2 million years, are often interpreted exclusively as tools or de-
vices, in keeping with the technomorphic attitude of… Read More
Rudolf Steiners naturwissenschaftlicher Impuls. Ein Brückenschlag von frühen Jugendfragen bis zu den naturwissenschaftlichen Kursen
Rudolf Steiner wrestled with scientific issues already early in his youth. His education was also initially focussed on the natural sciences and technology.

Historische und theoretische Grundlagen des Gestaltbegriffs in der Biologie

This led to an insight into European (… Read More
Woher kommt das Salz des Meeres und wohin geht es?

This means that the salt in the sea should actually continue to accumulate, as happens in lakes with no outflow in arid regions. However, this does not occur in the oceans. The salt… Read More
Die Goetheanisten und die Verständigen - Zur Metamorphose und Systematik der Pflanzen und Pflanzengesellschaften
Efforts to demonstrate the compatibility of the Goetheanistic approach to observing nature with the conventional mode of the academic field are the order of the day for Goetheanists, who have also sufficiently experienced the value of the latter. Here examples, especially from the field of inflorescence morphology and phytosociology will… Read More
Flight of Shimmering Light: Exploring Insights into Hummingbird Biology from Comparative Morphology
The 377 species of hummingbirds (Family Trochilidae) occur across the Americas and are considered the most colorful group of birds in the world. This status is achieved due to the majority of species exhibiting various degrees of brilliant plumage iridescence. Hum- mingbirds also include the smallest birds in the world, with the Bee… Read More
Entstehungsprozesse von Perspektive und Wissenschaft in der Renaissance - Ein essyistischer Dialog zwischen Mathematik und Kunstgeschichte
The term Renaissance seems too established and popular to be successfully overcome or replaced. However, reservations are justified for several reasons: more than any other epoch, the Renaissance is associated with a conservative and evaluative style of art histo- riography, which organizes the change in pictorial forms of expression… Read More
