   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Weidenreich, Franz (1873–1948)

German-born US physical anthropologist. The University of Chicago sent him to China (1934–41), where his excavations of the fossil Peking (Beijing) Man resulted in a series of definitive monographs. Returning to the USA, he continued his work at the American Museum of Natural History. Weidenreich was born in Edenkoben, Germany. He received his MD from the University of Strasbourg in 1899, then served at several German universities until Nazi anti-Semitism forced him to emigrate to the USA.
