Pioneering explorer Albert Rebel and the pygmy tribes
Albert Rebel, noted traveler and collector, claimed rare relics from his Sumatra and Dutch New Guinea expeditions. He described pygmy tribes as shy, living in tree habitats, sharing trinkets as gifts, and regarded them as the closest missing link, calling them human apes and declining large cash offers for his relics.
