Working on osteology, blood groups, fingerprints, forensic medicine and several other fields, he made important contributions to the study of variations in Aboriginal culture and migratory arrivals over time. In his extensive examination of significant ancient bones and artefacts he discovered or documented several of major significance. Macintosh was noted for his extensive and tenacious fieldtrips. He established the geological context of the fossilised Talgai skill, discovered in 1886, and used modern techniques to date it to c.14,000 years. At Lake Nitchie, New South Wales, he examined burial remains that indicated the practice of burial rites. Later research on the dingo showed the modern animal to be morphologically unchanged for 3,000 years. As consultant to the Criminal Investigation Branch of the New South Wales Police he was involved in the investigation of a number of bizarre murders. 1933 1933 Education - MB BS, University of Sydney 1934 1935 Career position - Neurosurgical Registrar, Lewisham Hospital, Sydney 1936 1937 Career position - Medical Superintendent, Lewisham Hospital, Sydney 1939 1942 Career position - Active service with the Royal Australian Naval Reserve 1943 1945 Career position - Demonstrator, Department of Anatomy, University of Sydney 1945 1947 Career position - Lecturer, Department of Anatomy, University of Sydney 1948 1949 Career position - Senior Lecturer, Department of Anatomy, University of Sydney 1950 1950 Education - Diploma in Anthropology, University of Sydney 1950 1955 Career position - Reader, Department of Anatomy, University of Sydney 1951 1951 Career position - President, Anthropological Society of New South Wales 1955 1973 Career position - Challis Professor of Anatomy, University of Sydney 1961 1977 Career position - Member, Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies 1963 1963 Career position - Foundation Member and President, Anatomical Society of Australia and New Zealand 1966 1974 Career position - Chairman, Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies 1966 1977 Career position - Associate Editor, Archaeology and Physical Anthropology in Oceania 1967 1973 Career position - Chairman, Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies 1970 1970 Award - Anthropos Medal, Moravian Museum, Brno, Czechoslovakia 1970 1970 Award - Hrdlicka Medal, City of Humpolec, Czechoslovakia 1971 1971 Award - Honorary Fellow, Royal Australian College of Dental Surgeons 1971 1971 Career position - Life Member, Anatomical Society of Australia and New Zealand 1972 1972 Award - Honorary Fellow, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons 1973 1973 Life event - Retired Anatomical Society of Australia and New Zealand (1963 - )
