Tihomir Đorđević

He pursued his post-graduate studies in Vienna and Munich,[1] where he received his doctorate in 1902.

Among the Munich alumnae were Miloje Vasić, Veselin Čajkanović and Dragutin Anastasijević, his contemporaries.

[2] Đorđević's interests were very wide and varied, ranging from detailed analyzes of the folklife of Serbs through ethnographic research of the lives of other peoples in Serbia (Romani people, Vlachs, Aromanians, Greeks, Circassians, etc.)

Although not an anthropologist, he is the first Serbian scientist who explicitly pointed to the importance of paleoanthropology for history and ethnology.

[3] In his book Đorđević emphasized that the data, obtained through the study of skeletons and graves, represent the only source of material, appearance and way of life of a people in the past when written records are lacking.
