A Very Secret Trade – The Dark Story of Gentlemen Anthropological Collectors in Tasmania | Cassandra Pybus | 2024 [NEW – SC]

In the 19th century, European collectors and museum curators cultivated contacts in Van Diemen's Land who could supply them with specimens — not just thylacines and platypuses, but human remains. The belief that Tasmania's original Aboriginal people were a unique race facing extinction drove the European scientific community to scramble for human exhibits, creating a clandestine trade in human bones that reached to the highest levels of colonial society.
