Synopsis

The Veddas of Ceylon and Their Relation to the Neighboring Tribes is a book written by Rudolph Ludwig Carl Virchow in 1888. The book is an anthropological study of the Vedda people, an indigenous tribe living in Sri Lanka, and their relationship with neighboring tribes. The author explores the Vedda's culture, customs, language, and physical characteristics, as well as their historical and social context. The book also discusses the Vedda's interactions with other ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, including the Sinhalese and Tamil people. Virchow's work is considered a pioneering study in the field of anthropology and provides valuable insights into the Vedda people and their way of life. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Sri Lankan history, culture, and anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
