Description

"Not one great country can be named, from the Polar regions in the north to New Zealand in the south, in which the aborigines do not tattoo themselves." -Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man Tattooing Among Civilized People (1882) by Robert Fletcher is a presentation the author made to the Anthropological Society of Washington. Given the purpose of the organization, Fletcher's paper focused on the anthropological significance of tattoos: in which cultures their use was prominent, why they were used, and how they differed from one culture to another.
