History[edit]
The Science of man and Australasian anthropological journal was, according to the banner of the first issue, "The Official Organ of the Australian Anthropological Society".[1] The journal's editor and driving force was Allan Carroll (1823-1911), who was also the founder of the society.[2] Originally selling for one shilling per issue, and consisting of much irreverent advertising material, the journal was not academic in nature but was rather a popular edition, directed towards interested members of the general public.[2]. Many of the articles featured in the journal were unattributed, came without footnotes, and were likely authored by Carroll himself.[2]
The Science of man played a significant role in the development of the Anthropology in Australia, however, the journal has also been derided for the amateur approach of Carroll and for it's focus on racial stereotypes.[2]
Digitisation[edit]
The Australasian Anthropological Journal has been digitised by the National Library of Australia.
