The Intersection of Anthropology and Medicine in Austria

Lecture description:

In this fascinating lecture, the Natural History Museum in Vienna's Maria Teschler-Nicola explores the points of convergence between Austrian anthropological and medical traditions between 1850 and 1920. Investigating a largely neglected period dominated by physicians, anatomists, pathologists, and geologists and their respective research interests, this lecture focusses on the lives and achievements of various key figures such as Ferdinand v. Hochstetter and the anatomist Carl Toldt who promoted the young physician Rudolf Poech. Poech, a member of the team the Academy of Sciences sent to study the 1897 plague outbreak in India, was also an early supporter of a "modern biology" that increasingly centred on hereditary theories, an approach he explored through numerous research projects on both European as well as non-European populations.
