This work embarks on an extensive exploration into the development of human culture, touching upon facets such as mythology, religion, language, art, and societal customs. Tylor's research aims to uncover the interconnectedness of various cultural phenomena throughout history, suggesting that contemporary societies can be understood by studying their primitive counterparts. At the start of the book, Tylor sets the stage for his discussion on culture by defining it in broad terms—encompassing knowledge, belief, art, morals, and customs acquired by humans as social beings. He emphasizes the importance of viewing human behavior in light of natural laws and continuity, arguing against notions of supernatural interference in cultural progress. Tylor highlights the significant role of ethnography in classifying and interpreting cultural practices across different societies, advocating for a systematic study of human evolution as it relates to civilization's development from primitive states to modern societies.
