[Position on the publication of S. Ehrhardt (1990): Setukesen. A population group between Estonians and Russians in southeast Estonia. Homo 40, 159-175. Reflections on responsibility in anthropological works].
The uncommented publication of data on Setukesen people (SE Estonia), which were collected in 1942, by the scientific journal Homo (40, 159-175, 1990) is remarkably unreceptive to discussions within the scientific community at large. Therefore some basic considerations on scientific ethics in anthropology are outlined. Unfortunately Homo has refused to publish this statement which was written on appointment of the advisory board of the German Society of Anthropology and Human Genetics.
