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
Nor must I omit to mention Lord Kames' 'his tory of Man,' and Montesquieu's Esprit des Lois,' both of them works of great interest, although written at a time when our knowledge of savage races was even more imperfect than it is now.

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.
