Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Representative Tribes of Queensland: With an Inquiry Concerning the Origin of the Australian Race
For Mr Mathew Australian origins, lan guages, traditions, religion, folk-lore and social usages have been a life study, and the know ledge bearing upon these questions, which most others have gleaned from the library Shelves, he has acquired at first hand in the native camping-grounds. While still in his teens he was brought into the closest contact with the aborigines on his uncle's station in Queensland, Where the Kabi dialect became for him almost a second mother-tongue. At an early date he prepared an account of that tribe, which was embodied in Mr Curr's big work on me Australian Race, and it was by living in their midst that he detected in the original stock the evidence of a blend with a straight-haired people, such as the proto-dravidians might have been.

Two Representative Tribes of Queensland (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and origins of Queensland's Kabi and Wakka tribes, focusing on their culture, traditions, and way of life in the 19th century. The author, a respected anthropologist with firsthand experience, challenges previous theories on the origins of the Australian aboriginal people. The book proposes a hybrid origin theory, suggesting that the original inhabitants were a curly-haired Papuan race similar to the Tasmanians, who were later displaced by straight-haired people from the north, resulting in the hybrid racial makeup of the present-day Australian aboriginal population. The author provides linguistic, cultural, and physical evidence to support this theory, offering a deeper understanding of the complex origins of the Australian aboriginal people and their rich cultural heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330488669_0
