Summary: "Pygmies & Papuans: The Stone Age To-day in Dutch New Guinea" by A. F. R. Wollaston is a scientific account written in the early 20th century. The book documents a Dutch New Guinea expedition aimed at exploring the region primarily from an ornithological perspective, focusing on its indigenous inhabitants, the Papuans and Pygmies. It provides insight into the primitive lifestyle of these groups, the challenges faced during the journey, and the ecological richness of New Guinea. At the start of the text, the author discusses the expedition’s origins and preparations, highlighting the contributions of various individuals and the organizational efforts of the British Ornithologists' Union. After outlining the trip’s logistical aspects, including travel from Java and the anticipated challenges of navigating Dutch New Guinea's territory, Wollaston reflects on the local environment and diversity encountered, foreshadowing the complex interactions that would occur upon reaching their destination, particularly with the indigenous communities.
