Did John Lubbock ever receive any outside financial support for his work?

  • Only royal funding

  • Only a patronage

  • No, it was self-funded

  • He received government grants

Answer

John Lubbock’s work was self-funded, which is to say that he did not receive any financial support from an outside entity. He was a wealthy man and was able to support his own research without having to rely on outside funding. This allowed him to be more independent in his work and to follow his own interests without having to worry about pleasing any potential sponsors.
