Heinrich Barth
This pioneering account, published in 1857–1858, was a foundational text in the study of African history and ethnography. Barth set out to 'represent the tribes and nations … in their historical and ethnographical relation to the rest of mankind'. Cited by Darwin, it is still regarded as an important source.
