Alfred Radcliffe-Brown
Alfred Radcliffe-Brown was a prominent British social anthropologist known for his work on kinship and social structure among Indigenous Australians. His early estimates of the Aboriginal population post-colonisation, which ranged between 250,000 and 300,000, have been criticized for underestimating the actual numbers due to the devastating impacts of colonisation.
