Abstract. Edward B. Tylorâs Primitive Culture articulates one of two major theories of culture to emerge around 1870. His theory defines culture in descriptive terms as the âcomplex wholeâ that makes up social ideas and institutions, and in this it helped to establish anthropology as a recognized science.
(1832-1917) Founder of British anthropology. Tylor was the son of a Quaker brass-founder. The most complete presentation of Tylor's concepts is found in his work Primitive Culture (1871), reprinted as Religion in Primitive Culture (Harper 1958).
