| biography:
| Physical anthropologist, born in Clemansville, Wisconsin, USA. He studied at Lawrence College and Wisconsin University, then taught anthropology at Harvard (1913–54), where his laboratory became the main US centre for training physical anthropology specialists. In his many popular writings, such as Apes, Men and Morons (1937), he introduced the subject to a wide readership. In his research he concentrated on the racial classification of the human species, and on relationships between body build and behaviour, as in Crime and Man (1939). |
