Mexican Yaqui remains controversy
This news item just came up about Hrdlicka's involvement in a dispute between the US & Mexican government for the remains of some Yaqui Indians massacred in the early 1900's. Apparently, Hrdlicka was the anthropologist responsible for the remains residing in New York until now and also contributed to the atrocities committed to the remains under the guise of studying that particular race

this battle has been occurring for over two years now.

here is the AP story that ran in Yahoo! News: Mexico Indian remains returned from NY for burial

@ Spelling by Nygaard, references
The spelling is correct. It is a Czech name, see http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleš_Hrdlička. Aleš Hrdlička was a former director of the Smithsonian institute and the author of The Human Races essay, a breakthrough in that field of antropological studies.

Settlement of the Americas
In reading up on Vero Man, I have come across a number of sources which state that Mr. Hrdlicka was very set in his assumption that man did not settle the New World until 4,000 years ago. His use of contemporary but inapplicable techniques such as skull measurement resulted in his rejecting apparently valid claims that Vero Man was more than 10,000 years old. The effect of this was to relegate Vero Man into the broom closet of history.
