The Mbuti Pygmies: an ethnographic survey

American Museum of Natural History • (50) • Published In 1965 • Pages: 139-282 , plates

By: Turnbull, Colin M..

Abstract

Originally presented as a thesis in 1956, this publication was supplemented and revised as a result of Turnbull's 1957-58 field experience. In one major respect it is a valuable addition to Turnbull's existing corpus of work: it offers extensive comparison of net-hunters, on whom Turnbull has concentrated, with the archer Mbuti, Schebesta's prime source.
