A Bilateral Division of the Parietal Bone in a Chimpanzee; with a Special Reference to the Oblique Sutures in the Parietal

Aleš Hrdlička

1869–1943

A pioneering anthropologist who helped shape the study of human origins in the United States, he is remembered for building major museum collections and pushing big questions about where people came from. His work was influential and wide-ranging, even as some of his ideas and methods are now seen through a more critical modern lens.
