Bertil Lundman

Bertil J. Lundman (28 September 1899, Malmö – 5 November 1993, Uppsala) was a Swedish anthropologist.

Early life

Lundman was born on 28 September 1899, in Malmö.

Career

Lundman was an anthropologist. In the 1930s, he wrote an article in Zeitschrift für Rassenkunde, a German journal of racial studies. Later, he served on the executive committee of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics. He created a racial classification system of Europeans in his book The Races and Peoples of Europe (1977).

According to Swedish historian Martin Ericsson, Lundman made some of the "most racist" claims among Swedish researchers on the subject in the 20th century, placing Nordic people on the top of his racial hierarchy and thus in some way resembling the "Nazi Aryan myth".

Death

Lundman died on 5 November 1993.
