The best in my area

In my opinion the best in physical anthropology is Arthur Auderheide, because he is a pioneer in

the field of scientific mummy studies. His researches focus in paleoepidemiology and paleopathology, for the reconstruction of diaseases in ancient populations. In his investigations he uses ancient DNA methods, and with this he could demostrate the presence of tuberculosis in America before Columbus arrived. He also demostred the presence of trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), in South American forests long before humans migrated there. He also did some works in Chile with Bernardo Arriaza, about Chinchorro mummy. He has published different books (4) about this topic, and more that 100 articles. He worked for 36 years in the University of Minnesota Medical School .

Through out his career he has become one of the wordl first experts in paleopathology. In November 2008, he retired. I think hi is one of the best in the mummy studies, and I admire he for that, we works in different countrys and topic, about paleophatology. Hi has the qualities to be one of the best mummy investigatores, with a long history in the area and a lot work.
