Wilhelm Koppers (1886–1961) was a Catholic priest and cultural anthropologist.<br />From 1913, Koppers was a close associate of Father Wilhelm Schmidt , SVD. In 1921/22 he accompanied Father Martin Gusinde , SVD, on an expedition to the Tierra del Fuego . In 1928, Koppers was appointed professor of ethnology and a member of the board of directors of the newly founded Institute for Ethnic Studies at the University of Vienna . In 1938 he lost his position, presumably due to his vehement criticism of the idea of a Nordic origin of the 'Indo-European race', preferred by the national socialists. [1] From 1940 to 1944 Koppers lived in Switzerland. <br />His research focus was the Bhil tribes in central India. <br />He saw the pre-Asiatic elements in the Indo-European religion, like the Thunder God . Other elements, such as the cow-sacrifice ( Ymir ), originate from a cultivated southern (Caucasian-Oriental-oriental) cultural circle. Koppers followed Otto Schrader in the assumption of a Northpontische Urheimat of the Indo-Germans. <br />
