| Description: | One hundred years ago, Drs. Alfred Haddon and W.H. Rivers traveled to Melanesia to study the islanders. Their expedition laid the basic scientific ground rules for social anthropology and ethnography as studied today. Interviews with islanders reveal the accuracies and inaccuracies of their study. The issue of personal involvement hindering scientific objectivity is also addressed. |
