Darwin's Apprentice is a unique book telling the story of an important yet forgotten Darwinist, Sir John Lubbock, through the eyes of his archaeological and ethnographic collection. Both man and collection are witness to an extraordinary moment in the history of science and archaeology - the emotive scientific, religious and philosophical debate triggered by the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859. Darwin's Apprentice looks at Lubbock's critical, yet often over looked, role in the Darwinian campaign. It also looks at the ways in which Lubbock became Lubbock through his collections, taking a chronological view of both of his life and his collections. Janet Owen writes in an approachable manner with an aspect of story telling, making it accessible to both a general and academic reader, including those who would not have considered themselves as having an interest in the life of John Lubbock prior to reading this book! 15-20 b/w images
