Abstract
Best remembered as author of the Bank Holidays Act (1871) and as a darwinian anthropologist and archaeologist, John Lubbock, first Baron Avebury (1834-1913), based a considerable portion of his intellectual career upon the study of social insects. Specifically, he sought to delineate the evolutionary mental continuum between human beings and other non-human animals. This scientific pursuit led him to 'tame' a wasp, to construct unique artificial ants' nests, and to teach a dog to 'read'.
