Edgar­do Krebs was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argenti­na. He stud­ied social anthro­pol­o­gy at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Oxford in Eng­land. Edgar­do’s main top­ic of inter­est is the his­to­ry of anthro­pol­o­gy in Argenti­na. He did field­work among the Tat­si­mo of south­ern Mada­gas­car, and in Tier­ra del Fuego, fol­low­ing the diaries of Sir Bald­win Spencer. He con­duct­ed sev­er­al research trips to the Gran Cha­co. Harpers Mag­a­zine, The Wash­ing­ton Post, and The Times Lit­er­ary Sup­ple­ment have pub­lished his work, which has also appeared in sev­er­al schol­ar­ly jour­nals and books.
