“There are three great questions which in life we have over and over again to answer. Is it right or wrong? Is it true or false? Is it beautiful or ugly? Our education ought to help us to answer these questions.”
Sir John Lubbock, 4th Baronet, (1834–1913) was an English banker, politician, and self-taught natural scientist and polymath who specialized in archaeology, animal science, and entomology. He is known for coining the terms “paleolithic” and “neolithic” in the field of archaeology.
