About this book
Caves as evidence of early human life in Europe are the subject of this 1874 study by William Boyd Dawkins, then museum curator and lecturer in geology at Owens College, Manchester. He sets out to gather the scattered records of cave exploration in one connected account, picking up where Buckland's work of 1823 had left off.
The preface points to finds at Kent's Hole, Brixham, Wookey Hole, and caves in Belgium, Auvergne, southern France, Germany and Switzerland, where human remains lay with those of extinct animals, and to animal figures drawn by the reindeer and mammoth hunters. It carries woodcuts, a coloured plate and a dedication to the Baroness Burdett Coutts.
