Sir John Lubbock was an English banker who was fascinated with biology & archaeology. He was a close friend of Charles Darwin & a prolific writer who made influential contributions to both of these fields, being appointed the President of the Linnaean Society between 1881-1886. First published in 1865, it was written as a textbook of prehistoric archaeology. It became one of the most influential & popular archaeological books of the 19th century, being reissued in seven editions between 1865 & 1913. In this volume Lubbock develops an evolutionary interpretation of archaeology, using prehistoric material remains as evidence that human cultures become more sophisticated over time. He also introduces the division of prehistory, coining the terms Palaeolithic & Neolithic to subdivide the Stone Age.
