"Cave Hunting" by W. Boyd Dawkins is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the findings and implications of cave exploration, focusing on the evidence these caves provide regarding early human inhabitants of Europe. It delves into the historical and archaeological significance of various cave sites across Europe, revealing how these locations serve as valuable windows into humanity's distant past. The opening of the text sets the stage for a comprehensive study of caves as crucial archaeological sites. Dawkins introduces the exploration of cave systems as an emerging field of inquiry and outlines the importance of integrating historical, geological, and biological perspectives to understand the lives of ancient peoples and the wildlife they interacted with. He references significant discoveries made since the early 19th century, such as the human relics found alongside extinct animals, and provides an overview of the book's intent to synthesize and present this information in a coherent narrative, highlighting various cave explorations across Europe that contribute to our understanding of prehistoric life.
