Who was Dorothea Bate?
The Dorothea Bate Award is named for Dorothea Minola Alice Bate FGS (1878-1951). Dorothea Bate, a Welsh palaeontologist and a trailblazer in archaeozoology, dedicated her career to uncovering fossils of recently extinct mammals. Her research aimed to unravel the mysteries behind the evolution of giant and dwarf species.
This portrait was first published in the Hungarian magazine Uj Idok (1932).
