Colin M. Turnbull
Colin M Turnbull attended Magdalen college at Oxford. He was a well educated person and fascinated at the Pygmies of Africa. After his studies he joined the Royal Naval Reserve. His fascination to the tribe made him one of the most important intellectual in 1960 and 1970. One of his most famous book was "The african Queen" just like this book and many others they are all about the Pygmies. While Colin was on a road trip through Africa his passion for this tribe increased. He returned to Africa later in his life to record native music, he began to feel fascinated about the Pygmies in Africa. He found this tribe to be extremely interesting and arranged to stay there a few times. Like previously said this was one of his main inspirations to writing his books some are even important to the study of ethology. The books are "The Mountain People"and "The Human Cycle". The Mountain people talks about the gatherers and hunters of the Pygmies tribe. All his studies on the tribe have been extremely important to the study of African ethnology.
