William Ainger Wigram

Yazarın kendiside misyoner olmasına rağmen, 1914'de yayınladığı kitapta 'İnsanlığın Beşiği' diye Kürd kültürü ve tarihini referans gösteriyor. Bu yönlü oldukça kaynak var.
Ortak fikir olarak bu tanımlama başka bölge ve millet için yok. Kürd Milleti kendisi bilmeli ve geleceğini herşeye rağmen ona göre kurmalı.

''Kürdler çok eski bir millettir. Anabasis'teki On Binlere sorun yaratan Carduchiler modern kürdlerin atasıdır.''

Edgar T.A. Wigram
, 1922
