Edward Tylor is often regarded as the founder of cultural anthropology. He was interested in data covering all aspects of life - art, ethics, law, religion, science – and expounded a strong evolutionary perspective of the development of human civilisation. He interprets morality as variably expressed according to the particular cultural contexts and conventions.
