          This biography web has been developed by the anthropology students at Minnesota State University, Mankato as a part of our EMuseum. We strive to produce brief descriptions of anthropologists and other scientists that have direct influence on the discipline of anthropology. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but we are continuing to add and it grows each semester. Feel free to suggest names in our comment section (use the 'Help' button) for any future people you would like to see included.

          We presently have biographies on 850 people who have influenced anthropology in some way. We are adding new ones all the time.
