| Summary: | William Sceva Laughlin (1919–2001) was recognized by the 1960s to be a leading authority regarding Aleut (Unangax) prehistory and physical anthropology. His sustained and committed study of the Aleut was highlighted in a case study Aleuts: Survivors of the Bering Land Bridge . Laughlin's work clearly exemplified a multidisciplinary approach as he incorporated and integrated the findings that he and his colleagues had accumulated from their fieldwork in physical anthropology, biology, geology, demography, ethnography, linguistics, archaeology, and ecology. He viewed these varied endeavors as windows through which to better understand the interactions of language, culture, human biology, and environment that underlay Aleut adaptation. |
