much to the force of
her personality and
her outspokenness as
it did to the quality of
her scientific work.

cultural
anthropology.

Culture (1871) and Anthropology (1881),
he defined the context of the scientific

evolutionary theories of Charles Lyell. He
believed that there was a functional basis
for the development of society and
religion, which he determined was
universal.

anthropologist of

introducing functionalism, whereby
institutions satisfied human
biological needs, as the way to
understand other cultures.
