Edward Burnett Tylor, a prominent anthropologist, believed that the growth of human culture could be measured by examining certain key criteria. These include the development of industrial cities, the expansion of scientific knowledge, the nature of religion, and the level of social and political organization.

Edward Burnett Tylor's seminal work, "Primitive Culture", explored the development of early human cultures and their relationship to the evolution of civilization.

In 1884, Edward Burnett Tylor was appointed as the Oxford University's lecturer in Anthropology, marking a significant moment in the recognition of anthropology as a formal academic discipline.

The idea of social and cultural evolution explains progress in history as a process of change from simpler to more complex social structures and cultural systems.

The view of religion as a manifestation of psychological desires was popularized by the "psychologists" of the time.
