In this issue of the Neuroendocrinology Letters we would like
to introduce you to an anthropologist from Prague with special
interest in photography. Through our engagement in the fields
of anthropology and human ethology (see the editorial in this
issue), and through the courtesy of Michelle Tomanova, a member
of the Editorial Board of the NEL, working currently on her
Doctoral Theses at the Institute of Anthropology, at the Charles
University of Prague, we made the acquaintance with Petr Velemínský
who generously offered his photos from his private collection
for publication in this issue.
Petr
Velemínský was born 1964 in Prague. He has
been devoted to his hobby of photography for some ten years.
His central subject focused on is detailed prospectives of
nature and architecture. He is using a Canon 500 with a 28–80
mm lens system. His primary profession is Historical Anthropology.
He graduated from the Faculty of Life Sciences at the Charles
University in Prague. Since 1989, he has served as Curator
at the Department of Anthropology of The National Museum in
Prague. Besides determination of demographic and basic anthropological
characteristics, Dr. Velemínský has been engaged
in the relationship between skeletal morphology and consanguineous
kinship, and the potential manifestations of non-specific
loads on the human skeleton. In year 2001 he defended his
Ph.D. thesis on the Great-Moravian burial ground at Mikulcice
(9th Century AD). His wife Jana is also an anthropologist;
and they have two sons – Filip and Adam.
