In 1859 Prestwich followed a lead by Hugh Falconer to check the claims of Boucher de Perthes that the Somme gravels contained human artefacts associated with an extinct megafauna. With friend John Evans he found handaxes in situ and presented his detailed work in this landmark paper. The work rapidly won acceptance. In 1863 the influential geologist Sir Charles Lyell published his book on Human Antiquity supporting the case for a long human chronology | |
