'Primitive Culture Researches Into The Development Of Mythology, Philosophy, Religion Language, Art, And Custom Vol. ii'

English anthropologist and pioneer of cultural anthropology Edward B. Tylor is the author of the book Primitive Culture Vol 2. Tylor's investigation of the idea of culture and how it has changed across many cultures is continued in the book, which was initially published in 1871. Volume 2 of Tylor's book dives more deeply into the numerous facets of culture, such as mythology, art, and language. He examines the causes and purposes of these cultural components as well as how they influence the activities and beliefs of various communities. Tylor's work in Primitive Culture was revolutionary at the time since it established the idea of cultural development and dared to question accepted notions about race and civilization. Tylor maintained that every society has a distinctive culture that is interesting to study, regardless of its degree of development. He held the opinion that culture was not natural, but rather acquired and passed down via the generations. The concept of cultural borrowing-where civilizations interact and modify ideas from other societies-was another topic Tylor investigated. For anybody interested in cultural anthropology or the study of human cultures, Primitive Culture Vol. 2 is a great resource. Tylor's observations and analyses shaped the discipline of anthropology and still affect debates of culture and society today.
