This work offers a fascinating exploration of the birth of prehistory as a scientific discipline during the 19th century. Through a carefully curated anthology of fundamental texts, the book analyzes how the discovery of ancient remains and the development of transformist theories challenged traditional beliefs about the origins of humanity, leading to the construction of a new science with defined methods and objects of study. The volume includes a synthetic introduction that contextualizes the historical debate, along with notes and commentary that facilitate the understanding of essential concepts.
