Abstract

Gabriel Ward Lasker (1912–2002) played a prominent role in the development of human biology, biological anthropology, and anthropological genetics. He served as editor‐in‐chief of the journal Human Biology for 35 years, and guided generations of young scholars. He conducted field investigations in China, Mexico, Peru, and the alpine valleys of northern Italy, focusing on human plasticity of migrants and on surname analyses for reconstructing the genetic structure of human populations. He was recognized for his professional contributions with two highly prestigious awards for lifetime achievement: the Darwin Award from the American Association of Physical Anthropology and the Boaz Award from the Human Biology Association.
