Harold Colyer Conklin (April 27, 1926 - February 18, 2016) was an American anthropologist who conducted extensive ethnoecological and linguistic field research in Southeast Asia (particularly the Philippines) and was a pioneer of ethnoscience, documenting indigenous ways of understanding and knowing the world. Conklin entered the University of California, Berkeley as an undergraduate in 1943, studying with numerous notable anthropologists. He attended Berkeley for one year before being inducted into the United States Army in July 1944. When World War II came to an end, Conklin continued serving with the Army in the Philippines until his discharge in August 1946. With the support of the Berkeley anthropology department, he remained in the Philippines to conduct fieldwork for a year and a half. Conklin returned to Berkeley in 1948 and finished his undergraduate work in 1950. He then started graduate school in anthropology at Yale University. Conklin eventually went on to teach anthropology at Columbia University in 1955, and joined the faculty of the Department of Anthropology at Yale University in 1962, where his research areas included the ethnology and ecology of tropical forested areas of the Pacific Basin. Based on his extensive research, Conklin built one of the largest ethnographic collections from the Philippines at Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History, where he was Curator of Anthropology from 1974 until his retirement in 1996. Nearly 1500 objects that he collected in the Philippines have been acquired by the American Museum of Natural History. FORN-TUB-0057-BB-2409-JC1227
