Biographies

WARNER, WILLIAM LLOYD (1898-1970), anthropologist and sociologist, was born on 25 October 1898 at Colton, California, United States of America, son of William Taylor Warner and his wife Belle, née Carter. After serving in the infantry as a private in World War I, he graduated in anthropology (A.B., 1925) from the University of California, Berkeley. Warner was fortunate in his close association with luminary anthropologists and proved eclectic in adapting their diverse methodologies. Taught by R. H. Lowie and A. L. Kroeber, he was also stimulated by B. K. Malinowski who visited Berkeley and recommended a Rockefeller Foundation fellowship for Warner at the University of Sydney's new anthropology department under A. R. Radcliffe-Brown; on the latter's advice, the Australian National Research Council extended the fellowship for two years.

William Lloyd Warner worked in north-east Arnhem Land during 1927-29, based at Milingimbi Methodist Mission. He became celebrated for his exposition of the system of kinship and marriage among the various clans of his so-called Murngin people. His findings stimulated the 'Murngin controversy', a voluminous dialogue to which distinguished anthropologists still contribute.
