Karl Penka

Karl Penka (26 October 1847, Mohelnice – 10 February 1912, Vienna) was an Austrian philologist and anthropologist. Known for his now-outdated theories locating the Proto-Indo-European homeland in Northern Europe,^[1] Penka has been described as "a transitional figure between Aryanism and Nordicism".^[2]
