The Antiquity of Man
"The Antiquity of Man" by Sir Charles Lyell is a book published in 1863. This groundbreaking work tackled three controversial scientific issues: the age of the human race, the existence of ice ages, and Darwin's theory of evolution. Lyell used the book to reverse his own long-held positions on all three topics. Despite facing criticism from colleagues who accused him of inadequately crediting their work, the book sold well and helped establish prehistoric archaeology as a legitimate science in Britain.
