The Cambridge anthropological expedition of 1898 9 to the Torres
Strait and New Guinea, led by the zoologist and anthropologist
Alfred Cort Haddon (1855 1940), marked an epoch in field
methodology. This edition, published in 1924, examines some of the
major physical differences between human beings that Haddon used to
distinguish race, looking at skin colour, hair, stature, nose,
face, and head form, and is thorough and wide-ranging in offering
examples from throughout the world. He also suggests some reasons
for the geographical distribution of the races. This was a new
approach, though Haddon's findings are necessarily condensed here,
providing a valuable work of reference rather than a full study.
Forming the basis for a larger work, this book is is an important
example of early scientific anthropology, while Haddon's curatorial
work in the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology in Cambridge made
this a primary centre for anthropological study and research.
