from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Benecke (2015)

Mark Oliver Benecke [ benɛkə ] (* 26. August 1970 in Rosenheim ) is a German forensic biologist , a specialist in forensic entomology and politicians .

Life

After studying biology and psychology at the University of Cologne and gaining a doctorate with summa cum laude on genetic fingerprints , Benecke completed various technical training courses in forensic medicine in the United States , including at the FBI Academy. At the beginning of his studies he was also enrolled in German studies , psychology and theater studies , but then limited himself to biology with psychology as a diploma minor. In the field of his minor subject psychology, he primarily dealt with learning experiments on animals. According to his own statement, he knows less about psychology, he is all the more interested in biology: “Although I also studied psychology as a minor, as a student who is deeply dedicated to biology, I was not so interested in human software as its hard wiring with nerve and nervous systems Sensory cells. The motives of a serial killer cannot be traced in this way. "
