Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) was a pioneering British anthropologist and is often referred to as the father of cultural anthropology. His scholarly work laid the foundations for the systematic study of anthropology, and his theories on culture have had a far-reaching influence. Tylor is best known for his concept of 'survivals,' a term he used to describe the customs and beliefs that persisted into modern times from earlier stages of human culture. His literary style is characterized by analytical rigor and a comparative approach to studying cultures.
Tylor's illustrious intellectual career began with his publication 'Anahuac: or, Mexico and the Mexicans, Ancient and Modern' (1861), where he documented his observations during his travels in Mexico. The work offers insight into Mexican culture, both from the standpoint of the ancient civilization of the Aztecs and the modern state of Mexico at the time of his visit. The book established Tylor as an insightful and scientific observer of culture. In addition to 'Anahuac,' Tylor is renowned for his seminal work 'Primitive Culture' (1871), which further explores his theories on cultural development and evolution. Throughout his writings, Tylor emphasized the importance of fieldwork, the comparative method, and the application of scientific principles to the study of societies. His contributions have been instrumental in establishing anthropology as an academic discipline.
