What I Can Learn from Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay

Nikolai Nikolaevich Miklouho-Maclay was an outstanding Russian scientist, naturalist, and traveler, one of the founders of modern ethnography. In distant countries, he was interested not only in unexplored nature but, first and foremost, in getting to know other peoples and... studying their way of life. His respectful and kind attitude towards people set an example for future researchers around the world.
This brief illustrated biography will tell about the life of Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay: why he was expelled from the university and how he was able to continue his education, who helped him prepare for a distant and costly expedition to New Guinea, and why the Papuans not only accepted the foreigner but still respect his memory. It will also discuss why it is important not to judge anyone solely by appearance and whether they resemble you or not.
