Wilhelm Waldeyer was anatomist, physiologist, and pathologist during the German Empire (the so-called Second Reich). His scientific career left many traces still noticeable today. Not only is he commemorated in "his" pharyngeal lymphoid ring and other eponyms, but he also coined an impressive range of successful medical terms, including "chromosome" and "neuron." Moreover, Waldeyer left truly physical traces by donating parts of his body to his own Institute of Anatomy in Berlin. His scientific production does, however, also include "pseudoscientific" works, notably his questionable research on African brains.
威廉·瓦尔代尔是德意志帝国（即所谓的第二帝国）时期的解剖学家、生理学家和病理学家。他的科学事业留下了许多至今仍清晰可见的痕迹。他不仅在“他的”咽淋巴环及其他以他名字命名的事物中被纪念，还创造了一系列令人印象深刻且沿用至今的医学术语，包括“染色体”和“神经元”。此外，瓦尔代尔通过将自己身体的部分捐赠给柏林他自己的解剖学研究所，留下了实实在在的物质痕迹。然而，他的科研成果中也包括一些“伪科学”著作，尤其是他对非洲大脑的可疑研究。
