Abstract:
In the last decade of the 18th century many books bearing the title "anthropology" were published. In his "Grundlage medicinisch-anthropologischer Vorlesungen für Nichtärzte" (1791), the Swiss medical doctor Paulus Usteri (1768-1831) tried to connect medical anthropology and popular medicine in a way, that should make it interesting for the educated medical laymen. In the article Usteri's concept is described with special regard to the sources.
