Excerpt from The Evolution of Culture: And Other Essays
These Essays or rather Lectures, contain the first-fruits of the earliest systematic attempt to apply the theory of Evolution to the products of human handiwork. In their original form they have long been difficult to obtain; and they are reprinted now to supply the needs of candidates for the Oxford Diploma in Anthropology and of the numerous visitors to the Pitt-Rivers Museum in Oxford. But they will certainly appeal to a far wider public also, as a brief and authentic statement of their author's discoveries.
The four Essays are reprinted substantially as they were first delivered and published. But verbal errors and actual misquotations have been corrected; and allusions to specimens or diagrams exhibited during the original discourses, but not published have been replaced so far as possible by references to similar objects figured in the Plates.
The Plates are photographic reproductions of the original illustrations, with the exception of Plates V, XIII, XVII, XVIII. Of these Plate XIII has simply been re-drawn, from a faded original; Plates XVII and XVIII have been translated, without loss of detail, from colours to monochrome shading; Plate V has been reconstituted from illustrations quoted in the text, with the permission of their publisher, Mr. Murray. Plate XXI is reproduced, by permission of Sir John Evans, from the paper which it illustrated originally.
The footnotes demand a word of explanation. The author, as the original publications show, was not precise in indicating his sources: he frequently gave, as a quotation, the general sense rather than the exact words of his authority; and occasionally his memory played him false. In the reprint, the precise references have been identified, and are given in full, and obvious errors in the text have been either amended or corrected in a footnote. The editor desires to acknowledge much valuable help in the search for references from Miss C. M. Prior, of Headington.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces an innovative approach to understanding the origins and evolution of human technology. One of the first to apply the ideas of evolution to human creativity, this book brings together essays by Colonel Lane Fox that analyze the development of tools, clothing, and weapons from their simplest forms to complex ones, demonstrating the continuity between the arts of prehistoric and modern people. The author argues that objects made by modern "savage" tribes (the term he uses) preserve in their forms clues to the development of tools and weapons of prehistoric peopleâ"even those of the earliest humans. He was one of the first to suggest that the basic idea of the bow and arrow may have originated with simple bows used as musical instruments, and was refined gradually over thousands of years. This book is a key text in the development of the concept of the evolution of technology and one that continues to be referenced today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332450046_0
