Excerpt from Ethnology: In Two Parts, I. Fundamental Ethnical Problems, II. The Primary Ethnical GroupsComprehensive English works on ethnology in the stricter sense of the term, works such as those of Dr Prichard, Messrs N ott and Gliddon, and Dr Latham, were all composed before the appearance Of Darwin's Origin of Species with which biological studies make a fresh start. Since then special branches of the subject, such as the evolution and antiquity of Man, primitive culture, the Stone and Bronze Ages, and the origin of civilisation, have been treated by several eminent men of science, conspicuous among whom are Sir Charles Lyell, Professor Huxley, Darwin himself, Professor E. B. Tylor, Sir John Evans, Sir John Lubbock and Professor Boyd Dawkins. But scarcely any serious work of a comprehensive character can be mentioned except Dr Brinton's \races and Peoples, and Professor Tylor's popular treatise on Antlzropology, which, despite its title, is concerned more with ethnological and social than with strictly anthropological matters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
