Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) was born in London, England. He is one of the founders of the British anthropologist, the school of cultural history and ethnology. He studied at the Tottenham Missionary School-Garden College in his early years.

Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) traveled to Mexico with H. Christie, a British enthusiastic researcher in the prehistoric period, in 1856, and wrote Ana Hawk, or Mexicans and Mexicans (1861). His research on the early history of mankind in 1865, the two-volume "Primitive Culture" written in 1871, and "Anthropology" written in 1881 have had a great academic impact and have been reprinted repeatedly. He was elected a member of the Royal Society in 1871, the curator of the Museum of Oxford University in 1883, the first professor of anthropology lectures at Oxford University in 1896, and founded the university's Department of Anthropology. In 1912 he was named Jazz. He laid the foundation and contributed greatly to the full development of anthropology in the UK.

Taylor objected to the widespread degeneration theory that the backward nations had declined and were inadequate. He put forward the idea of the continuous development and evolution of human society, and regarded culture as a whole. All nations had contributed to this. This was of progressive significance at the time. He was the first person to apply statistics to the study of social facts. His article "On a Method of Investigation System Development" (1888-1889) played a great role in the later studies of ethnology and sociology.
