ANTHROPOLOGICAL AND RACEBIOLOGICAL RESEARCHES 



which (together with many other both tertiary and quarternary animal fossils) 

 was found in the sand at Piltdown. 



The results of my examinations are to be found more completely published 

 in Der Piltdown*Fund in Bull, of Geol. Inst. Uppsala 1919. 



As before said anthropology has many points of connection with other subjects, e. 

 g. anatomy, rontgenology, ethnography etc. But many of the contributions that have 

 been made in these branches of science cannot be treated of here for lack of space. 



The beautiful studies and work which have been done by Dr. VICTOR BERG* 

 LUND in inventing methods for the reconstruction of the profile of the cranium on 

 the skeleton of the face (Lund 1914) ought however to be mentioned. And it 

 should be said also that in Professor K. B. WIKLUND of Uppsala, Sweden posses* 

 ses not only an eminent Finnish*Ugric linguist but also a genuine expert especially 

 in Lappic ethnography. 



Even in Finland: important anthropological researches have been made by 

 Finland^Swedes. These have not however been mentioned above, because an ac= 



count of them will be found in a later article by Dr. K. Hilden.

Lastly in regard to the latest systems started, genetics and race*biology, even 

 these have been pushed forward strenuously by Swedish scientists. 



It is quite natural that at the change of the century when the Mendelian laws 

 were rediscovered, biologists, especially botanists threw themselves into this inte* 

 resting sphere of labour. In another part of this book (see page 101) is given an 

 account of the contributions made by Swedish experimental geneticists and cytologists. 



This is the place to mention something about the race*biology which rests on 

 a medical and anthropological foundation. 



There is only one scientist in this field of labour at present in Sweden, na# 

 mely, H. LUNDBORG in Uppsala. 



He has during many years with rare zeal devoted himself to researches in
