Description

Edward B. Tylor’s Anthropology: An Introduction to the Study of Man and Civilization (1881) is a foundational text in the field of anthropology. The book offers a comprehensive overview of human evolution, culture, language, art, religion, and social organization. Tylor, often regarded as the father of cultural anthropology, presents the concept of culture as a complex whole that includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, and customs. Written in a clear and systematic style, this work laid the groundwork for later anthropological theory and comparative cultural studies. It remains an essential reference for students and scholars interested in the origins and development of human society and civilization.
