Alfred Hart Everett (11 October 1848 – 18 June 1898) was a British civil servant and administrator in Borneo as well as being a naturalist and natural history collector.
Everett was born on Norfolk Island to British parents: George, the doctor at the penal colony, from Wiltshire, and Anna-Maria, from Jersey.
After two years there he entered the service of the Kingdom of Sarawak, as a Resident in the Baram district, under the White Rajahs.
In 1878 and 1879 he was engaged by the Royal Society and British Association to explore 'the Caves of Borneo' in search of the remains of ancient man.
The explorations were made around Bau and Niah but were unsuccessful in their primary aim[1] (although the orangutan jaw which later formed part of Piltdown Man may well have been one result).
