About this person
His work in anthropology has been labelled as "one of the darkest chapters of anthropology" by Katarina Matiasek. In the 21st century, the extensive collection of human bones and other remains that he brought to Vienna from his various expeditions has been a focal point of efforts towards the repatriation and reburial of human remains.
