This book provides a fascinating firsthand account of the customs and way of life of the indigenous peoples of North Borneo (modern-day Sabah, Malaysia). The author, Ivor H. N. Evans, was a British anthropologist and museum curator who spent several years living among the people he describes. He also provides an account of his archaeological work on the island, which included the discovery of numerous prehistoric artifacts. Among Primitive Peoples in Borneo is an important document of early 20th century anthropology and Southeast Asian history.
