Lothar Georg Vollweiler
Hi, I am Dr. Lothar Georg Vollweiler. My family in Germany calls me Lothar. My family, friends, acquaintances, and colleagues in the United States call me George, and the students who enroll in the college courses I teach simply call me Dr. V. Welcome to my site!
Dr. Lothar Georg Vollweiler is Professor of Anthropology and Coordinator of the anthropology program at Santa Fe College in Gainesville, Florida. He joined the SFC faculty in 1993, and succeeeded Mr. Stuart McRae, the founder of the SFC anthropology program as Coordinator in 2004. Dr. Lothar Georg Vollweiler was instrumental in vastly expanding the SFC anthropology program by adding such courses as Cultural Anthropology, Human Origins, Human Sexuality and Culture, Multicultural Anthropology, and an honors Forensic Anthropology course to the curriculum, thereby transforming it into the largest two-year college undergraduate anthropology program in the state of Florida. Dr. Lothar Georg Vollweiler also created the SFC Anthropology Lab, the only one of its kind at a two-year Florida college. The Lab's collection holds natural and medically-correct reproductions of human remains for student forensic lab exercises. The Anthropology Lab also includes a hominin fossiil collection dating from the earliest known hominin fossil known, Sahelanthropus tchadensis or "Tumaii" at 6-7 millions years before the present, to the the more recent discovery of Homo floresiensis, the famed hobbit or "Little Miss Flo" of the island of Flores, dated at about 18,000 years before the present. The collection also includes the assembled skeleton of "Turkana Boy," the most complete skeleton of the first and oldest species of our own genus, Homo ergaster, dated at 1.6 million years ago. The fossil collection is observed, described and assessed by all students who register for the classroom version of Dr. Vollweiler's Human Origins course. Dr. Lothar Georg Vollweiler was the first to develop SFC anthropology courses online, such that almost every anthropology course is now available via Open Campus, the hub for all SFC online course offerings.
