Book Launch: Clever Men by Professor Martin Thomas

Join Professors Martin Thomas and Jon Altman for a discussion about Martin’s new book, Clever Men.

What really happened when Charles Mountford led a quarrelsome team of Australian and American scientists to explore traditional Aboriginal life in Arnhem Land in 1948?

Drawing on years of collaborative research with Arnhem Land communities, Clever Men is a poignant portrayal of colliding worlds. In this encounter between scientific hubris and the world's oldest surviving cultures, Thomas finds a story of global significance and profound long-term impacts.
