US evolutionists were also
strongly involved in this flourishing 'industry' of gathering specimens of
'subhumans'. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington holds the remains of
15,000 individuals of various races. Pickled Aboriginal brains were
also in demand, to try to prove that they were inferior to those of whites. It
was Darwin, after all, who wrote that the civilized races would inevitably wipe
out such lesser-evolved 'savage' ones. Edward Ramsay, curator of the
Australian Museum in Sydney for 20 years from 1874, was particularly heavily
involved. He published a museum booklet which appeared to include Aborigines
under the designation of 'Australian animals'.
"A death bed memoir from Korah Wills, who became mayor of Bowen, Queensland, in
1866, graphically describes how he killed and dismembered a local tribesman in
1865 to provide a scientific specimen". CS
