Having acquired a Shakespeare folio for a few shillings, anthropologist Daniel Wilson (1816-92) found in The Tempest a source of scientific intrigue. Writing more than two hundred years before Darwin propounded his theory of evolution, in his final play Shakespeare had created a missing link caught between the animal and the human. In this monograph, first published in 1873, Wilson uses the strange and unfortunate character of Caliban as a means through which to explore the principles of evolution. He traces many of the play's plot devices back to real events that perhaps inspired them - from storms in Bermuda to records of semi-human creatures around the world - and brings literary commentary into science as he links the relationships set out in the play to anthropological principles. This interdisciplinary approach makes the book both an entertaining exegesis of the play and a uniquely accessible explanation of contemporary scientific theories.

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.

Published in 1862, this is a seminal two-volume work in the study of early man. Scottish anthropologist Daniel Wilson (1816-92) moved to Canada, where studies of native tribes greatly influenced this work. Using archaeological and anthropological advances, he charts the development of man in the New and Old World.

This is the 1863 second edition of a seminal two-volume work by the Scottish archaeologist and anthropologist Daniel Wilson (1816-92). A pioneering scholar, Wilson brought the word 'prehistoric' into use in English. This richly illustrated work is split into four periods, from the earliest settlers to the Christian era.

Born in Edinburgh, Daniel Wilson (1816-92) initially pursued an artistic career and spent time in Turner's studio. However, in 1846 he became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and devoted the rest of his life to archaeology, anthropology and university administration. He was active in the Society's attempts to save historic buildings in Edinburgh, and the city's built environment was the subject of this two-volume 1848 work, which is illustrated with engravings after his own drawings. In Volume 1, Wilson begins by tracing the city's history from earliest times. The latter part of the volume covers local antiquities and traditions, with each chapter looking at a different area of the Old Town. The historical detail, with references, is immense, and Wilson's enthusiasm for his city is evident throughout. His second major work, the landmark Prehistoric Annals of Scotland (second edition, 1863), is also reissued in this series.
