Joseph Deniker
Joseph Deniker (born March 6, 1852 in Astrakhan , † March 18, 1918 in Paris ) was a Russian-French anthropologist and racial theorist .
Life
According to Clemens Stock, Deniker is said to have used the expression " Nordic race " for the first time in his main text Les races et les peuples de la terre , although this topos was then adopted by other racial theorists such as Hans FK Günther . However, Deniker took over the expression from the Viennese high school teacher Karl Penka, who coined it about 15 years before, which Deniker also referred to in his text Les races .
