Scientist, Politician. He will be remembered for coining the archaeological terms "Paleolithic" and "Neolithic". Lubbock studied at Eton College before beginning his career by taking a position in his father's bank, becoming a partner at age twenty-two. He was elected the first president of the Institute of Bankers in 1879 and in 1883 founded the Bank Clerks Orphanage, now known as the Bankers Benevolent fund. In 1888 he was made president of the London Chamber of Commerce. He entered politics in 1870 when he was elected as Liberal Member of Parliament for Maidstone, Kent. Among his many enactments in parliament were the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 and the Ancient Monuments Act of 1882. He was also the founder of the Proportional Representation Society in 1884, before joining the breakaway Liberal Unionist Party in 1886. He also developed a reputation as an archaeologist; and in 1865 published "Pre-historic Times, as Illustrated by Ancient Remains, and the Manners and Customs of Modern Savages". He was the first to use the words Paleolithic to denote the Old Stone Age and Neolithic to denote the New Stone Age. He was also respected an amateur biologist, publishing books on many subjects, including, wasps, bees and ants, insect sense organs and development and animal intelligence. He was also the first to prove that ants are sensitive to ultraviolet light. He was a long standing friend of Charles Darwin and corresponded with him frequently. He sold Darwin the land on which his famous Sand Walk was made, helped secure Darwin's burial in Westminster Abbey and a pall bearer at his funeral. In 1890 he was made a privy councilor and in 1891 chaired the committee for the design of the new coinage. He was given the title of Baron Avebury in 1900. He married twice, had one son and restored Kingsgate Castle for his home. He was one of the nine charter members of Thomas H. Huxley's, X-Club, a group of scientists that met monthly for decades to share ideas and support liberal science in Victorian England.
