With his appointment to the National Museum in 1903 starts the phase in Hrdlicka’s life that he will remain the most famous for – physical anthropology. He studied the origin and [[evolution]] of the [[human_being|human]] species in general, and particularly the problem of the origins of American men. In the period from 1910 to 1924, Hrdlicka conducted numerous studies on over 1000 subjects to support his idea of the origin of American people. In his books Physical Anthropology from 1919, followed by Anthropometry in 1920 and Old Americans in 1925, Hrdlicka claimed that the first Americans immigrated across the [[Bering Strait]] from the [[Asia]]n continent. The idea behind his claims was the fact that in Americas there were no [[ape]]s from which man could evolve. Hrdlicka organized several expeditions to [[Alaska]], [[Kodiak Island]], [[Aleutian Islands]], and [[Commander Islands]] to collect evidence for his claims. According to Hrdlicka, all the races had a common origin – in the Old World – and had spread gradually across the globe. In 1927 Hrdlicka published his article ''The Neanderthal Phase of Man'' where he elaborated on those claims. Hrdlicka’s devotion to physical anthropology culminated in 1918 with his founding of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology which he edited until his retirement in 1942.

Aleš Hrdlička (born March 30, 1869 – died September 5, 1943) was an important figure in the development of anthropology, especially physical anthropology, in the United States.


Life

Born in Humpolec, Bohemia (today's Czech Republic) into a family of cabinet-makers, Ales Hrdlicka spent his childhood in his native city where he finished elementary and middle school. When he was thirteen his family emigrated to the USA, and settled in New York. Hrdlicka worked together with his father in the tobacco factory until he was 19. In 1888 he fell seriously ill with typhoid fever, and it is the time when he first met his physician, Dr. M. Rosenblueth, a former rabbi, who changed Hrdlicka's life forever. Upon recovery, and with a help of Dr. Rosenblueth, Hrdlicka finished the Eclectic Medical College of the City of New York, and in 1894 received a research position in the new State Homeopathic Hospital for the Insane, at Middletown, New York. Here he developed his interest for anthropometry, the study of measuring the human body, which he further specialized in Paris, under Leon Manouvrier. Upon his return to New York in 1896 Hrdlicka married Marie S. Dieudonnee, who died in 1918. The marriage was childless. Hrdlicka married again in 1920, and the second Mrs. Hrdlicka survives him, there being no children either.

In 1898 Hrdlicka visited Mexico, starting with the research on the indigenous people of Tarahumares, the Huichols, and the Tephuanes. In 1903 the new department of Physical Anthropology was opened at the National Museum in Washington (today's Smithsonian), Ales Hrdlicka becoming the first curator of the department, the post he held until his retirement in 1941. Hrdlicka founded the American Journal of Physical Anthropology in 1918, and in 1928 after his initiative the American Association of Physical Anthropologists was organized and established. He was a significant contributor to the development of physical anthropology in Czechoslovakia, where under the “Ales and Marie Hrdlicka Foundation” he established the Chair in Anthropology at the Charles University in Prague.

Ales Hrdlicka died in Washington, D.C., on September 5, 1943.

Work

Ales Hrdlicka is definitely one of the most fruitful scholars in the history of anthropology. Since his graduation from the New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1894 he produced, without a break, an average of eight papers every year until his death. All together there are more than 350 items in his bibliography. Hrdlicka’s restless spirit and the desire for discovery brought him to compilation of one of the most complete collections of human bone material in the world. His collection of craniological material is described in detail in six-volume Catalogues of Human Crania in the U. S. National Museum (1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1931, 1942).

With his appointment to the National Museum in 1903 starts the phase in Hrdlicka’s life that he will remain the most famous for – physical anthropology. He studied the origin and evolution of the human species in general, and particularly the problem of the origins of American men. In the period from 1910 to 1924, Hrdlicka conducted numerous studies on over 1000 subjects to support his idea of the origin of American people. In his books Physical Anthropology from 1919, followed by Anthropometry in 1920 and Old Americans in 1925, Hrdlicka claimed that the first Americans immigrated across the Bering Strait from the Asian continent. The idea behind his claims was the fact that in Americas there were no apes from which man could evolve. Hrdlicka organized several expeditions to Alaska, Kodiak Island, Aleutian Islands, and Commander Islands to collect evidence for his claims. According to Hrdlicka, all the races had a common origin – in the Old World – and had spread gradually across the globe. In 1927 Hrdlicka published his article The Neanderthal Phase of Man where he elaborated on those claims. Hrdlicka’s devotion to physical anthropology culminated in 1918 with his founding of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology which he edited until his retirement in 1942.

Legacy

In the world related to physical anthropology Hrdlicka was definitely an authoritative voice. He greatly contributed towards the understanding of the prehistory of man in Europe, Asia, and America, which greatly remains accepted and supported by modern data. Hrdlicka was one of the first scientists to claim the common origin of all the races. He was also one of the first to hypothesize of how the races spread across the globe, and what are the origins of American people. His theory of migrations of Native American from Siberia to Alaska won him an international reputation. In many respects Hrdlicka can be considered the father of physical anthropology in the USA, and one of the great contributors in the development of world anthropology in general.

Hrdlicka remains remembered both in U.S. and in Europe. In World War II the United States liberty ship SS Ales Hrdlicka was named in his honor. Numerous museums in the Czech Republic carry Hrdlicka's name, one of the most famous which is in Prague – the Hrdlicka Museum of Man.
