| Summary | "Anthropological Survey in Alaska" by Aleš Hrdlička is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the anthropological and archaeological study of the indigenous peoples of Alaska, particularly regarding the relationships of these groups with their counterparts in Asia and the historical migrations that occurred between these regions. The opening of the book introduces readers to the motivation behind Hrdlička's expedition to Alaska, emphasizing the area's significance in understanding the peopling of America. It details the lack of previous systematic research and highlights the contributions of various explorers and scientists in the field. The beginning sets the stage for Hrdlička's extensive journey through Alaska, revealing his plans to gather anthropological data, study local tribes, and collect artifacts. Subsequent sections provide a clear view of Alaska's geography, people, and culture while presenting the writer's experiences and observations, thereby illustrating the rich yet often overlooked history of the native populations of the region.
