Born in the family of the second guild merchant Abram Markovich Vaysenberg. After successfully graduating from high school, he entered the University of Heidelberg , where in 1890 he received a doctor’s diploma, and later a doctorate in medicine.
The results of his anthropological research among Jews in the South of Russia [1] were awarded the gold medal of the Moscow Science Society [2] . In this work, based on a comparison of Jews with other nationalities, he concludes that Jews are not a single race , but a product of a mixture of several anthropological types . He published a number of works on folklore and ethnography of Jews.
Later he studied the anthropology of Karaites , trying to prove that there is a relationship between Karaites and Tatars , and that Karaites appeared as a result of a mixture of Jews and Tatars [3] .
