Forster was considered by many of his contemporaries to be one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late eighteenth century. His extensive and varied body of work reflects a talent that spanned comparative anthropology, linguistics, geography, and zoology, particularly in relation to the Pacific, Africa, North America, and Europe.Despite his potential to establish himself as a pioneering figure in these fields, J.
