Edward B. Tylor’s Primitive Culture (Volume II) is a seminal work in anthropology and ethnology, exploring the evolution of human thought and society. The book investigates the origins and development of mythology, religion, philosophy, language, art, and social customs among early societies. Tylor introduces and elaborates on the concept of cultural evolution, emphasizing the progression from “primitive” to more complex forms of social and religious life. Rich in case studies and cross-cultural comparisons, this volume provides deep insights into the ways human beliefs and practices have transformed over time. It remains a foundational text for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.
