چکیده

The aim of the present survey was to present information about scientific workings in the field of ethnic anthropology at the Institute of Medicine (headed by Prof. J. Þilinskas) of Vytautas Magnus University (VDU) in 1920–1940. Most of works were dedicated to craniology. J. Þilinskas together with A. Jurgutis and R. Masalskis were interested in Lithuanian ethnogenesis and investigated more than 800 sculls from different ages. On that basis they presented a craniometrical description of the old Iron Age Lithuanian cranial vault and facial part. Also, they described four scull types according to the shape of excavated (from 15th–19th c.) and 20th-century sculls, and as well as 38 craniometrical features common to 20th-century sculls. Serological studies were performed with the purpose to elucidate the distribution and heredity of blood groups. J. Þilinskas with J. Dobrovolskaite-Tikniene cultivated the auxology and examined the beginning of mensis and its variations in 225 female medical students. Works initiated under supervision of Prof. J. Þilinskas were continued by his followers in Kaunas and Vilnius.
