The Origin of Civilisation and the Primitive Condition of Man: Mental and Social Condition of Savages (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin of Civilisation and the Primitive Condition of Man: Mental and Social Condition of Savages
The whole mental condition of a savage is so different from ours, that it is often very difficult to follow what is passing in his mind, or to understand the motives by which he is influenced. Many things appear natural and almost self evident to him, which produce a very different Impression on us.

Book Description
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.
