V International Anthropological Congress of Aleš Hrdlička

Welcome to Congress
Aleš Hrdlička was a most distinguished Czech-American physical anthropologist. He it was who founded the American Journal of Physical Anthropology and also the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, arguably the two most influential entities in the world of physical anthropology. He never forgot his Czech origins and it is most fitting that Professor Pavel Bláha and his colleagues in Prague organize at regular intervals an Aleš Hrdlička Congress to keep his memory and his contributions alive and green. I am convinced that the Vth Congress in this series will enjoy the same success and creative spirit that have been the mark of its predecessors.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is our great honour to cordially invite you to join us at the Vth International Anthropological Congress of Aleš Hrdlička that will take place in Prague on September 2 - 5, 2009.

Since our last congress in the Czech Republic ten years ago a lot has changed.
Both Prague and Humpolec have developed and modernised their faces. What makes this year's Congress really worth visiting is the fact that we would like to commemorate the 140th anniversary of dr. Hrdlicka's birthday.

Simultaneously, in the field of anthropology many carried-out research projects have moved us towards new findings and conclusions. We are convinced this year’s Congress in Prague is the right place to share new experience and exchange information.
We look forward to meeting you in Prague in September 2009.

Yours faithfully,

Assoc.Prof. Pavel Bláha, Ph.D.
President of the Organizing Committee
President of the Czech Anthropological Society
