A. C. Haddon

Alfred Cort Haddon (1855-1940) was a British anthropologist and zoologist who pioneered modern British anthropology after shifting from marine biology to ethnography following his 1888 expedition to the Torres Strait.[1][2] He led the landmark 1898 Torres Strait expedition, introducing innovative methods like genealogy and ethnographic filming, and taught anthropology at Cambridge for over 30 years.[1][2] Haddon authored over 600 publications on topics from art evolution to racism, including *Head-Hunters: Black, White and Brown* (1901).[1]
