They were very amused to think that prehistory was an archaic version of their own world because it suggested that British ideals were eternal. In the 1850s, our prehistoric ancestors were portrayed in satirical cartoons, songs, sketches and plays as ape-like, reflecting the threat posed by evolutionary ideas. By the end of the century, recognisably human cave men inhabited a Stone Age version of late-imperial Britain, sending-up its ideals and institutions. Cave men appeared constantly in parades, civic pageants and costume parties. In the early 1900s American cartoonists and early Hollywood stars like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton adopted and reimagined this very British character, cementing it in global popular culture. Cave men are an appealing way to explore and understand Victorian and Edwardian Britain. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 History in popular culture|zGreat Britain. 650 0 Prehistoric peoples in literature. 650 0 Prehistoric peoples in motion pictures. 650 0 Prehistoric peoples on television. 650 0 Cave dwellers in art. 650 7 Cave dwellers in art.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00849886 650 7 History in popular culture.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01903473 650 7 Intellectual life.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 Prehistoric peoples in literature.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01075254 650 7 Prehistoric peoples in motion pictures.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01904339 650 7 Prehistoric peoples on television.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01737353 650 7 Höhlenmensch.|2gnd 650 7 Rezeption.|2gnd 650 7 Massenkultur.|2gnd 651 0 Great Britain|xIntellectual life|y19th century. 651 7 Great Britain.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 Großbritannien.|2gnd 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHorrall, Andrew.|tInventing the cave man.|dManchester : Manchester University Press, 2017 |z1526113848|z9781526113849|w(DLC) 2017275422 |w(OCoLC)974868754 830 0 Studies in popular culture (Manchester, England) 914 on1021245958 994 92|bGTK
