Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay

Birth: 17 July 1846, Rozhdestvenskoe, Russia
Death: 2 April 1888, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay was a Russian explorer, anthropologist, marine biologist, linguist, naturalist, museum administrator and public lecturer. He studied at a secondary school in Saint Petersburg and later at German universities, where he learned medicine, zoology, palaeontology and anatomy.

In 1878, he arrived in Australia on board the Russian corvette Vityaz. He worked in Sydney and helped organise a zoological centre. The Marine Biological Station, which he founded, became the first marine biological research institute in Australia.

Miklouho-Maclay also travelled to New Guinea, Melanesia, Polynesia, the Philippines and Indonesia. He visited many villages and studied the languages and culture of the Aborigines. With patience, courage and medical skill, he won the confidence of the local people.

He was one of the first anthropologists to oppose scientific racism. Today we remember him as an outstanding scientist, a human rights activist and a humanist.
