The Origin Of Civilisation And The Primitive Condition Of Man (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163361030)

The Origin of Civilisation and the Primitive Condition of Man is a book written by John Lubbock, a British polymath and archaeologist. The book explores the evolution of human society and the development of civilisation from its earliest beginnings. Lubbock argues that human civilisation is a product of a long process of cultural evolution and adaptation, which began with the earliest human communities and continued through the development of agriculture, trade, and the rise of cities.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of human society and its development. Lubbock begins by examining the primitive condition of man, and the ways in which early humans lived and interacted with each other. He then goes on to discuss the development of language, art, religion, and other cultural practices, and how these evolved over time.Throughout the book, Lubbock draws on a wide range of sources, including archaeological evidence, historical records, and anthropological studies. He also provides numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the concepts he is discussing.Overall, The Origin of Civilisation and the Primitive Condition of Man is a comprehensive and insightful work that provides a fascinating look into the evolution of human society and the development of civilisation. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, anthropology, or archaeology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
