"Primitive Culture: Researches into the Development of Mythology, Philosophy, Religion, Language, Art, and Custom" by Edward B. Tylor is a seminal work in anthropology, first published in 1873 by John Murray, London. This is the second edition, reflecting Tylor's expanded insights into cultural evolution. Tylor, a pivotal figure in anthropology, offers a comprehensive analysis of cultural phenomena, which laid the groundwork for modern anthropological studies. This edition is valuable for its historical significance and the foundation it provides in understanding cultural development. The book is ex-library, with typical markings but remains a crucial acquisition for collectors and scholars interested in the evolution of cultural studies. The absence of a dust jacket and the library marks are notable, yet the binding remains intact, preserving its scholarly content.
