Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man

By Charles Lyell and SIR CHARLES LYELL

Book Overview

""The Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man, with Remarks on Theories of the Origin of Species by Variation"" is a scientific book written by Charles Lyell in 1863. The book explores the geological evidence that suggests the existence of humans on earth for a much longer period than previously believed. Lyell examines the fossil record, the geological strata, and the evidence of human artifacts to support his argument. He also provides critical comments on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection and other contemporary theories of the origin of species. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scientists and the general reader. It is considered a significant work in the history of geology and evolution, and it continues to be studied and referenced by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
