FRANJO IVANIČEK -- LIJEČNIK, ANTROPOLOG I RASNI HIGIJENIČAR. (Croatian)

This paper focuses on the professional and scientific career of Franjo Ivaniček, the first bioarchaeologist in Croatia. During World War II Ivaniček, an Ustaša Lieutenant, was educated at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Genetics and Eugenics in Berlin (KWI-A), place of birth of most scientific theories of Nazi eugenics and racial hygiene. He conducted racist anthropological research following the official racial policy of the Independent State of Croatia (NDH), thus becoming the head of the Croatian State Anthropological Institute in Zagreb in 1944. After the war, he became the head of the Anthropological Department of the Institute of Biology at the School of Medicine of the University of Zagreb. Ivaniček completely changed the scientific discourse of study of the genesis of the Old Slavic and modern Yugoslav populations to refute German and Hungarian scientific theories of German and Avar settlement in Yugoslavia.

Ovaj rad prati profesionalnu i znanstvenu karijeru Franje Ivaničeka, prvog bioarheologa u Hrvatskoj. U vrijeme Drugog svjetskoga rata ustaški poručnik Ivaniček školovao se na Institutu cara Wilhelma za antropologiju, znanost o ljudskom nasljeđivanju i eugeniku u Berlinu, mjestu stvaranja većine znanstvenih teorija nacističke eugenike i rasne higijene. Provodi rasistička antropološka istraživanja u skladu sa službenom rasnom politikom NDH, što ga 1944. godine dovodi na poziciju rukovoditelja Hrvatskog državnoga antropoložkog zavoda u Zagrebu. Nakon rata, postaje voditelj Antropološkog odsjeka Biološkog zavoda na Medicinskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu te mijenja znanstveni diskurs u proučavanje geneze među staroslavenskom i suvremenom populacijom Jugoslavije kako bi opovrgnuo njemačke i mađarske znanstvene teorije o naseljavanju Nijemaca i Avara na teritoriju Jugoslavije.
