Dr. Hermann Klaatsch (10 March 1863 – 5 January 1916) was a German physician, anatomist, physical anthropologist, evolutionist, and professor at the University of Heidelberg (from 1890) and at the University of Breslau (Wrocław) until 1916.〔"(Hermann Klaatsch )" (biography), Aaron Possis, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Mankato, Minnesota, 2003.〕 Klaatsch was a Professor of Anatomy and studied evolutionary theory, being mentioned in some fingerprint books for his early studies on friction skin development. He researched the volar pads associated with the epidermal patterns, grouping the volar pads of humans and primates together. Subsequent to Arthur Kollmann, Klaatsch also gave names to the various volar pads in 1888.〔"(Michele Triplett's Fingerprint Terms: K )" (section for "Klaatsch, Dr. Hermann"), Michele Triplett, 2006.〕 Klaatsch was one of the most important researchers in the field of physical anthropology from the late 1890s to the time of his death. He made many discoveries and advocated separating anthropology from religion.〔 == Life and work == Klaatsch was born in Berlin. His father was a physician, and Hermann showed an interest in collecting specimens and in the natural sciences while a boy. He graduated from Royal Wilhelms-Gymnasium in 1881 and went to the University of Heidelberg to study medicine, and biology. He later went on to study at the University of Berlin and at the biological station of Villefranche. Klaatsch began working at the Rudolf Virchow laboratory and also at the Augusta hospital. In 1885, he became scientific assistant, there, at the anatomical institute, under Waldeyer, and received a degree of doctor of medicine (M.D.). In 1888, Klaatsch received a personal invitation to the University of Heidelberg from the old college friend that first interested him in anatomy. In 1890 Klaatsch began teaching there, and in 1895 he was promoted to ''professor extraordinarius''. Between 1904 and 1907, Klaatsch traveled into Australia and Java to study the native peoples. The culture and the bone structures of the Aborigines of Australia fascinated Klaatsch, and he later published papers on his findings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hermann Klaatsch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
