博士。保罗·谢贝斯塔 (PAUL SCHEBESTA) 因对马来半岛的黑人丛林人塞芒人 (Semang) 的研究而闻名，他们构成了从西非到新几内亚的原始文化低矮民族链条中的一环，他很幸运有机会将他对侏儒人的研究扩展到刚果地区。从 1929 年 1 月到 1930 年 9 月，他在伊图里森林的侏儒中旅行，比大多数旅行者幸运的是，他只能瞥见这些难以捉摸的小矮人，他和他们一起生活，有时连续几个月。刚果侏儒是当今最原始的落后种族之一。谢贝斯塔访问的部落仍然是游牧猎人。他们不耕种，他们的妇女是食物采集者，因为她们的生计依赖于森林的蔬菜产品。由于此类食物的稀缺，他们开始依赖香蕉作为主食。由于这些东西，连同甘蔗和其他食物以及制作矛头和箭头的铁，只能从他们周围的成年民族那里获得，因此建立了一种霸主或庇护制度，在这种制度中，一个侏儒群体依附于土地所有者，向他提供猎物和森林产品，以换取他们自己的需求。他们还扮演大象猎人的角色，他们的领主夺取象牙。刚果侏儒中。作者：Paul Schebesta。杰拉尔德·格里芬从德文翻译而来。页码。 287 + 47 板。 （伦敦：Hutchinson and Co.（出版商）有限公司，1933 年。）18s。网。
DR. PAUL SCHEBESTA, already well known for his studies of the Semang the negrito jungle people of the Malay Peninsula, who form a link in the chain of low-statured peoples of primitive culture stretching at intervals from West Africa to New Guinea has been fortunate in having an opportunity to extend his investigation of pigmy peoples to the Congo area. From January, 1929 until September, 1930, he travelled among the pigmies of the Ituri forest, and luckier than most travellers, who have obtained little more than a glimpse of this elusive little people, he lived among them, at times for months on end. The Congo pigmies are among the most primitive of the backward races of to-day. The tribes visited by Schebesta are still nomad hunters. They do not cultivate, and their women-folk are food-gatherers, in so far as their subsistence depends upon vegetable products of the forest. Owing to the scarcity of such food stuff, they have come to rely on the banana as a staple food. As this, together with the sugar-cane and other food and the iron for spear- and arrow-heads, can be obtained only from the full-statured peoples around them, a system of overlordship or patronage has been established, in which a pigmy group is attached to a land-owner, supplying him with game and forest produce, in return for their own requirements. They also act as elephant hunters, their overlords taking the ivory.Among Congo Pigmies.By Paul Schebesta. Translated from the German by Gerald Griffin. Pp. 287 + 47 plates.
