Origin of Civilisation and the Primitive Condition of Man - Mental and Social Condition of Savages

Klappentext A student of Darwin, John Lubbock applied evolutionary theory to the development of human civilisations in this influential 1870 publication. Zusammenfassung Though professionally a banker and politician, John Lubbock (1834–1913) is best remembered for his scientific contributions. Tutored as a boy by Charles Darwin, Lubbock later used evolutionary theory to explain the development of human civilisations. This 1870 anthropological work compares ancient social structures with those of contemporary primitive cultures. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Introduction; 2. Art and ornaments; 3.
