Dieser Autor war eine Schlüsselfigur bei der Etablierung der Archäologie als wissenschaftliche Disziplin und leistete bedeutende Beiträge zu den Debatten über die Evolutionstheorie im 19. Jahrhundert. Seine Arbeit verband archäologische Beweise mit Darwins Konzept der natürlichen Selektion. Er führte auch die Begriffe „Paläolithikum“ und „Neolithikum“ zur Bezeichnung der Altsteinzeit bzw. Jungsteinzeit ein. Sein literarisches Erbe liegt in seiner Betonung der biologischen Unterschiede zwischen menschlichen Gruppen, die sich aus der natürlichen Selektion ergeben, und in seinem Einfluss auf das Verständnis der menschlichen Entwicklung.
