Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prehistoric Man, Vol. 1 of 2: Researches Into the Origin of Civilisation in the Old and the New World
The first edition of Prehistoric Man, published in 1862, was l'ollowed in 1865 by another, carefully revised in accordance with later disclosures. Since then I have wailed myself of further opportunities for study and research in reference both to existing races, and to the arts and monumental remains of extinct nations of the New \vorld. Within the same period important addi tions have been contributed to our knowledge not only of the arts, but of the physical characteristics of primeval man in Europe. In the present edition, accordingly, much of the original work has been rewritten. Several chapters have been replaced by new matter. Others have been condensed, or recast, with considerable modifi cations and a new arrangement of the whole.
