Edward Horace Man

Edward Horace Man (1846 – 28 September 1929) was a British administrator and anthropologist who studied the Andaman and Nicobar tribes in the 19th century.

Captain Henry Man took an interest in the Andamanese people and conducted some explorations of kitchen middens at some sites on the islands.

Franz Boas credits Man with having offered a slightly more nuanced ethnography of the Andamanese compared to the writings of previous travellers, including Marco Polo.

Maurice Vidal Portman considered Man as the Anthropological Institute's "pet" and Henry Moseley described him as the kind of collector who might send "four or five entire Nicobar villages with all the inhabitants inside."
