ANTH 205 EXAM 2 PREPARATION: MAGIC & RELIGION

1. History: Evolutionary Schemes Early 19th century

-Lewis Henry Morgan, Anthro.= Science,
Religion has no place.
-E.B. Tyler: focused on religion.

2. E.B. Tyler's Evolutionary Scheme: 1. Animism
2. Animitism
3. Polytheism
4. Monotheism

(this was his theme because he was a christian
himself, so it makes sense why he believes
monotheism is the most evolved and animism
is primitive.)

3. Animism all things in the environment have a soul
(animals, plants, mountains, oceans, etc.)

4. Animitism not personified. An abstract force that human
beings can tap into through ritual to make things
the way they want them to go

5. Polytheism constellation of gods and goddesses that are
respon- sible for many cases of life. Identified
as spheres of human activity

6. Monotheism one god/goddess/creator

7. Are these schemes correct? this scheme isn't necessarily correct, religions don't

evolve/develop that way

-religions are a product of the environment and
hu- man beings involvement with the environment
