Sir edward burnett tylor (born oct 2, 1917, wellington, somerset, eng.) was an english anthropologist regarded as the founder of cultural anthropology. Tylor held an evolutionary view about the development of culture, particularly of religion He believed that animism was the earliest form of religious belief, and that religious thought progressed over time to more civilized forms of organized religion. Tylor, founder of the study and curriculum of anthropology, is considered to be the first cultural evolutionist anthropologist and the father of the science of anthropology. Tylor defined religion as “the belief in spiritual beings” and argued that this belief exists in all known societies
Although tylor did not invent the concept of animism, he gave it added scope. Tylor was also close to prehistoric archeology, and his brother alfred was a geologist But although he was undoubtedly much affected by recent advances in these fields, we must look beyond them for the roots of his uniformitarian search for prehistoric origins. 에드워드 버넷 타일러 경 (Sir Edward Burnett Tylor, 1832년 10월 2일 ~ 1917년 1월 2일)은 영국 의 인류학자 이다. 1896년 옥스퍼드 대학교 최초의 인류학 교수 가 되었다. 종교 와 관련한 애니미즘 이론으로 알려졌으며, 인류학 연구의 대상을 문화 에서 찾았다.
