Excerpt from Palaeolithic Man: In N. W. Middlesex, the Evidence of His Existence and the Physical Conditions Under Which He Lived in Ealing and Its Neighborhood Illustrated by the Condition and Culture Presented by Certain Existing Savages
By comparing the large collection of specimens in my hands with the stone implements still in use, or until recently employed by savage people, my end has been to understand the various pur poses for which they were designed and fashioned, while by considering the state of culture of certain savage races selected for that purpose, from many others, the reader is enabled to realise the probable mode of life, conditions, and culture of the river drift men similarly situated as to climate and other conditions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of the evidence of the antiquity of man in Britain. It starts from the time that Julius Caesar came to Britain in 54 BC, and goes back to the start of the Palaeolithic Era. The author draws on archaeological, anthropological, and geological evidence to support the premise that man has occupied Britain for far longer than previously thought. The author also compares the large collection of specimens in their possession with stone implements still in use, or until recently employed by savage people, to understand the various purposes for which they were designed and fashioned. By considering the state of culture of certain savage races selected for this purpose, from many others, the reader is enabled to realise the probable mode of life, conditions, and culture of the river drift men similarly situated as to climate and other conditions.
