The 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.
