Biographical History
Edward Eyre Hunt (1922-1991) served in the U.S. Army-Air Force during World War II, and returned to do graduate research at Harvard University. He travelled to Yap, an island in Micronesia where he learned Yapese and wrote his doctoral dissertation on demography. He received a masters and doctorate from Harvard University (1949, 1951), did special studies in human medicine, and taught at Harvard University and the City College of New York before joining the Penn State faculty as professor of anthropology in 1969. Dr. Hunt was an originator of the field of medical anthropology, researching evolutionary aspects of human growth, body composition, dental and skeletal morphogenesis, and demography and population genetics of non-western human societies. Hunt was an accomplished trumpet and jazz guitarist. His wife, Vilma Hunt was professor of environmental health at Penn State. The Hunts retired in 1985 to Magnolia, Massachusetts, where he died in 1991.
