Evolution: Sir Hebert Spencer was the first one to define ‘evolution’ as a term. Major break to the theory of evolution was given by Charles Darwin . He was able to prove the process of evolution on the basis of paleontological evidence. Darwin’s idea of natural selection, struggle for existence and survival of the fittest served as cornerstone for the development of evolutionary theory. Basic Postulates of classical evolutionism: Classical Evolutionism aimed at indicating mankind as unity and not diversity. Human culture evolves in unilinear sequence through different stages. Primitive Societies were ancestors of more modern and civilized societies. Classical Evolutionism is progressive and proceed from simple to complex societies. Similar, cultural traits of mankind is because of ‘Psychic Unity of Mankind’. It refers to commonality of human mind that allows similar or common reactions, like to environmental situations. Methodologies adopted for the study of classical evolutionism: Comparative and historical methods. Historical explanations help analyzing cultural varieties and is adapted to study and justify the fact that human cultures had under gone progressive change. British Evolutionary School: Edward Butler Tylor (1832-1917): In his work, ‘ Primitive Culture’ , he gave the first classical definition of Culture. He was of the view that culture plays an important role for product of social learning rather than biological product. Study of the culture for mankind is the development for the society which passes through the stages from ‘savagery’ to ‘barbarism’ and finally rises to the ‘civilization’. Two major contribution from this book was: The ‘doctrine of survivals’ and ‘theory of animism’ He also gave the idea of ‘Psychic Unity of Mankind’ . According to him, all human beings having similar thinking patterns have same responses therefore there are similarities between societies. In his book ‘Primitive Religion’, he defined that religion was in simple form it’s called “Spiritual Beings”. His great contribution lies in analysis of ‘anima’ means soul. He said that every society in this world believes in spiritual. He believed in totemism (belief that soul resides in a totem- plant or animal) and fetishism (human beings control their deity through material objects) Evolution @0:22 Classical Evolutionism @1:01 Neo- Evolutionism @1:19 Basic Postulates of Classical Evolutionism @1:27 Methodologies Adopted for the Study of Classical Evolutionism @2:13 British Classical Evolutionism @2:49 American & German or Continental @3:12 British Evolutionary School @3:31 Two major Contributions from Book was @4:09 R.R.
