Reginald Sanjay Pal

In 1996 Reginald Sanjay Pal returned to Queensland to visit the Kabi and Wakka people living on Barambah Government Aboriginal Station and in 1990 he published Two Representative Tribes of Queensland. While his linguistic studies and ethnographic reporting are still well regarded, his more speculative discussion of the tri-hybrid origin of the Australian Aborigines, controversial at the time, is unsupported by data now available.
