#German #anthropologist, #physiologist and comparative #anatomist, frequently called the #FatherofPhysicalAnthropology, who proposed one of the earliest #classifications of the #races of #mankind.
He divided humanity into five races: #Caucasian, #Ethiopian, #American, #Mongolian, and #Malay.
Blumenbach #coined the term Caucasian (derived from the residents of #Georgia in the #Caucasus #Mountains) to describe the white race; and the term Mongolian.
Blumenbach was a #pioneer collector of #humancrania and was among the first to place comparative anatomy on a completely #scientific basis.
His book Collectionis Suae Craniorum Diversarum Gentium Illustratae Decades(1790-1828) contains the results of his observations of the skulls of different races.
