- Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between physical anthropology and ethnology at the end of the 1920s, before the National Socialists came into power. It focuses on Leipzig, Germany, as the home of the Saxon Research Institute which funded ethnological expeditions during which physical anthropology was a focus of study. It discusses physical anthropology as meaning "racial science" at this time, and refers to the studies done during the expeditions of anthropologists Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt, Paul Germann, and Bernhard Struck. Also discussed is the importance of the cooperation between the two sciences as seen from the perspective of professor Fritz Krause at the University of Leipzig in 1929 and its significance for contemporary studies.
