A physician and psychotherapist, W. H. R. Rivers (1864–1922) was also interested in anthropology. In 1901–2 he studied the genealogies and customs of the Todas, inhabitants of a high plateau in south-west India. This illustrated book, published in 1906, was regarded as a standard ethnography for half a century.
