  • 3 Researchers and Coranderrk
    3 Researchers and Coranderrk Coranderrk was an important focus of research for anthropologists, archaeologists, naturalists, historians and others with an interest in Australian Aboriginal people. Lydon (2005: 170) describes researchers treating Coranderrk as ‘a kind of ethno- logical archive’. Cawte (1986: 36) has argued that there was a strand of colonial thought – which may be characterised as imperialist, self-congratulatory, and social Darwinist – that regarded Australia as an ‘evolutionary museum in which the primi- tive and civilised races could be studied side by side – at least while the remnants of the former survived’. This chapter considers contributions from six researchers – E.H. Giglioli, H.N. Moseley, C.J.D. Charnay, Rev. J. Mathew, L.W.G. Büchner, and Professor F.R. von Luschan – and a 1921 comment from a primary school teacher, named J.M. Provan, who was concerned about the impact the proposed closure of Coranderrk would have on the ability to conduct research into Aboriginal people. Ethel Shaw (1949: 29–30) has discussed the interaction of Aboriginal residents and researchers, explaining the need for a nuanced understanding of the research setting: The Aborigine does not tell everything; he has learnt to keep silent on some aspects of his life. There is not a tribe in Australia which does not know about the whites and their ideas on certain subjects. News passes quickly from one tribe to another, and they are quick to mislead the inquirer if it suits their purpose. Mr. Howitt, Mr. Matthews, and others, who made a study of the Aborigines, often visited Coranderrk, and were given much assistance by Mr.

  • 'Not Man, but Man-Like': Early 20Th-Century Anthropological
    ‘Not man, but man-like’ Early 20th-century anthropological plaster casts in the Harry Brookes Allen Museum of Anatomy and Pathology Rohan Long Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the study of human evolution was the subject of intense interest, and controversy, in the Anatomy Department of the University of Melbourne. The department’s first professor, George Britton Halford (1824–1910), rejected outright the notion of human evolution, and directed various academic skirmishes at T.H. Huxley, the most public contemporary advocate for the theory of evolution. Later, in the 1930s, the Anatomy Department was helmed by Frederic Wood Jones (1879–1954), an unorthodox thinker who accepted the basics of human descent from earlier primates, but rejected the idea that chimpanzees and gorillas are our closest relatives, favouring instead the tarsier—a large-eyed insectivore from Asia. In his ‘Lines of demarcation’ between man, gorilla, & macaque of 1864,1 Halford dryly presented tables comparing the measurements of various bones of the three species, intended to illustrate humanity’s fundamental difference from the apes. Macaques (Macaca sp.) are small monkeys, amenable to captivity, and the professor was able to procure at least two for dissections he did himself.2 The gorilla measurements, however, were mostly derived from published data obtained first-hand by Richard Owen, Huxley, and French zoologist Georges Louis Duvernoy. On at least one occasion Halford was able to borrow some primate specimens from the National Museum of Victoria, then located on the university campus.3 The museum’s and other great apes were scarce for decades afterwards. director at the time was Professor Frederick McCoy, Prehistoric human fossils were even rarer.
