Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe book "Primitive Culture" is one of the foundational works in the field of anthropology.
- It explores the development of human cultures and societies, focusing on the idea of culture and its evolutionary aspects.
- This work had a significant impact on how anthropologists understand primitive societies and cultural evolution.
Key Points
- The author of the book "Primitive Culture" is Edward Burnett Tylor.
- Published in 1871, Tylor's book is considered a classic in anthropology.
- It introduced the concept of cultural evolution, suggesting that cultures evolve in stages, with the "primitive" cultures representing an earlier stage of development compared to "civilized" societies.
Hint
- Majumdar: He was an Indian anthropologist but is not associated with the book "Primitive Culture."
- Lundberg: He was an American sociologist, not the author of "Primitive Culture."
- Malinowski: A prominent anthropologist known for his fieldwork in social anthropology, but he did not write "Primitive Culture."
Hence, the correct answer is Tylor.
