Paperback. Condition: New. John Mathew was a Presbyterian minister who developed an interest in Aboriginal ethnography after migrating from Scotland to work on his uncle's farm in Queensland in 1864. From 1879 he published influential studies of Aboriginal culture. Although Mathew's speculative argument for the tri-hybrid origins of the Australian Aborigines has long been disproved, his discussion of Aboriginal language and social behaviour was pioneering in the field of anthropology and is still well-regarded today. Two Representative Tribes of Queensland (1910) is the result of the extensive time Mathew spent visiting the Kabi and Wakka people living in the Barambah Government Aboriginal Station. This direct experience is emphasised in the preface to the book: 'For Mr Mathew Australian origins . have been a life study, and the knowledge bearing upon these questions, which most others have gleaned from the library shelves, he has acquired at first-hand in the native camping grounds.'.…

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.…
