Ludwig Kohl-Larsen (born Ludwig Kohl April 5, 1884, Landau in der Pfalz, died November 12, 1969, Bodensee) was a German physician, amateur anthropologist, and explorer. In 1911 he traveled as ship's doctor with Wilhelm Filchner to Antarctica, but did not participate in the expedition to the Weddell Sea due to appendicitis. At South Georgia he cured himself out and met his wife, the daughter of Carl Anton Larsen, the founder of the town of Grytviken. During the First World War, he was a government doctor working in Micronesia. In 1928 he visited South Georgia with his wife and the cameraman Albert Benitz to lead the first scientific expedition to the island. In 1931 he joined the Nazi Party, and later undertook, partly on behalf of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, expeditions to German East Africa in search of "primitive man". In 1934 he discovered Australopithecus afarensis at Laetoli, without realizing the importance of his find. He also collected folklore of the Hadza and Isanzu. He attempted to prove that all people have a common origin, but that African peoples remained in the state of primitive man, while the Aryan race had developed. Such 'scholarship' was at odds with most anthropological concerns of the day in Africa. In 1939 Kohl-Larsen became Professor of Ethnology at the University of Tübingen. He lost his position in the course of denazification after the war, but worked from 1949 at the Institute of Early History in Tübingen. Due in part to his politics, but also to dubious scholarship, Kohl-Larsen is not highly regarded amongst contemporary East Africanists. (wikipedia, 2010-09-29)
