"Primitive culture, vol. 1 (of 2): Researches into the development of…" by Edward Burnett Tylor is an anthropological work published in 1871. Tylor examines the relationship between "primitive" and "civilized" societies, proposing evolutionary stages of human development from savagery to civilization. Drawing on 19th-century ethnological theories, he explores cultural progress and development across different societies. His controversial framework, which viewed tribal societies as lower stages of civilization, shaped early anthropological thought but is now generally considered unsubstantiated by modern scholars.
