Description
Dissent with Modification: A Study of Human Origins in Britain 1859-1901 This book chronicles a significant debate in human evolutionary studies that took place between the late 1880s and the 1930s. The author explores the 'eolith' debate, which centred on small, natural stones used as tools by our earliest ancestors. The study delves into various themes, including the development of Palaeolithic archaeology, its relationship with human physical anthropology in Britain, and the links between these fields and the study of race and racial origins. The book also examines the question of human origins itself, as well as the public perception of this topic and how it was presented to the general public. Through a review of the opening phase of the eolith debate (1889-1895/6), the author sheds light on the complex interconnections between scientific research, cultural evolution, and societal attitudes towards human origins.
