Edward Burnett Tylor

In Primitive Culture, Tylor explores cultural evolution and the development of human societies. This foundational work in anthropology seeks to understand the origins and progression of human civilisation through a comprehensive study of culture, customs, and beliefs across different societies.In this volume (vol. 1), Tylor focuses on the evolution of human thought, social structures, and cultural practices. His primary argument is that culture evolves in a linear fashion, from simple to complex forms, and this process is universal across human societies. He proposes that all societies, regardless of their current level of development, pass through similar stages.What is special with this edition?- Good size for reading and sufficiently large fonts - A new preface by anthropologist Nikolas rhem allowing the reader to compare this classic with recent scholarshipEdward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) was a highly influential Victorian scholar who played a key role in the development of social and cultural anthropology and comparative religion.Nikolas Arhem is a cultural anthropologist with many years of experience in the fields of witchcraft studies, animism and fetishism.

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.
