Bøger af Daniel Wilson

As a left-hander, the archaeologist and anthropologist Daniel Wilson (1816-92) was interested to discover as many left-handed Stone Age implements as right. In 1891 he published the results of his studies of left-handedness, which he concludes is hereditary and relates to the dominance of one hemisphere of the brain.

Daniel Wilson (1816-92) trained as an artist before turning to a scholarly career in archaeology and anthropology. This two-volume work on Edinburgh's historic buildings and antiquities was first published in 1848. Alongside detailed historical notes, Wilson's illustrations record places that were being threatened by development, or were already lost.
