The Lefschetz hyperplane section theorem has roots going back at least to Picard, but it was Lefschetz [20] who first stated and proved it in the modern form for integer homology. Later it was improved up to the homotopy level by Andreotti-Frankel [1] and Bott [8] using an idea of Thorn. Numerous generalizations along the same lines have appeared, e.g. [14, Theorem H], [19], [24, App. II] etc.
