Excerpt from Among Cannibals: An Account of Four Years' Travels in Australia and of Camp Life With the Aborigines of Queensland
IN the year 1880 I undertook an expedition to Australia, partly at the expense of the University of Christiania, with the object of making collections for the zoological and zootomical museums of the University, and of instituting researches into the customs and anthropology of the little known native tribes which inhabit that continent.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a captivating journey through the wilds of Australia in the late 19th century. The author, a dedicated scientist and explorer, spent four years immersing himself in the lives of indigenous tribes, documenting their customs and culture with meticulous detail. The book offers a unique glimpse into a world untouched by modern civilisation, revealing the fascinating complexities of a society often misunderstood and misrepresented. The book explores the daily lives of these tribes, offering insights into their hunting practices, social structures, and spiritual beliefs. The authorââ â¢s experiences highlight the resilience and adaptability of these people, who navigate a challenging landscape and rely on their intimate knowledge of the land for survival. The author also describes their encounters with cannibals, a subject that was considered taboo in Victorian society, yet he approaches the subject with unflinching honesty and a sense of respect for the cultures he encountered. This book offers a powerful and often unsettling look at the cultural encounters between Europeans and indigenous people, shedding light on the often overlooked complexities of colonialism. The book stands as a valuable testament to the richness and diversity of human experience, and offers a poignant glimpse into a way of life rapidly vanishing from the face of the Earth.
