It was Sir John Lubbock who coined the terms ‘Neolitic’ and ‘Paleolithic’ to distinguish the later and
earlier Stone Age periods. Ent behaviour, Bees, Wasps, and nature at all were also of Lubbock’s interests.

Lubbock’s day’). He published some 25 books, over a 100 scientific papers, and gave lectures on

scenery of Switzerland and Britain were also fascinationg treatises on geology by an expert. Essentially,
Lubbock was a great public educator, perhabs the formost of his time. (DSB).
