Former students and colleagues collaborate in recognizing and reflecting on Kenneth A. R. Kennedy of Cornell University, a highly respected and admired humanistic anthropologist with an extraordinary life of integrity dedicated to science, scholarship, students, and colleagues. Their deepest respect, admiration, and gratitude for Professor Kennedy is affectionately documented. He was widely recognized nationally and internationally for his creative and meaningful contributions to physical/biological anthropology, paleoanthropology, human osteology, forensic anthropology, South Asian studies, and the history of these subjects. All of this is also extensively documented in our book. Kennedy serves as an inspiring role model of an academic, scientist, and human being.
