��������č�첹

In the early 1900s, ������š ��������č�첹 of NMNH, who helped found the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in 1928, continued to use human remains, often stolen from Indigenous communities, to study race and promote eugenics.

��������č�첹, who was white and whom Redman describes as “deeply racist,” was the driving force behind NMNH’s skeletal collection.

In the early 1900s, the U.S.-based anthropologist ������š ��������č�첹 helped to found the modern study of human bones.

The skeletons ��������č�첹 studied were categorized as either male or female, seemingly without exception.

Redman effectively portrays the remarkable personalities behind them, particularly pitting the prickly ������š ��������č�첹 at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC against ally-turned-rival Franz Boas at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
