Título:	Johann Blumenbach, German anthropologist
Descrição:	Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), German founder of the science of anthropology. Blumenbach was professor of medicine at Gottingen University. He analysed the physical characteristics of human skulls (craniology), suggesting that humans belonged to a single race divided into five sub-groups: Caucasians, Mongolians, Malayans, Americans and Ethiopeans. Such simple genetic divisions have since been discredited. His major work was 'Collection of the Skulls of Various Peoples' (1790-1828). This 1823 artwork is by L. E. Grimm. The skull, unearthed in 1821, was said to be that of Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland.
