But when we find a certain cultural element distributed over a continuous area, we have the right and the obligation to search for a center of origin. It is and has always been much easier to borrow an idea from one's neighbors than to originate a new idea; and transmission of cultural elements, which in all ages has taken place in a great many different...
78. oldal - We may liken the progress of mankind to that of a man a hundred years old, who dawdles through kindergarten for eighty-five years of his life, takes ten years to go through the primary grades, then rushes with lightning rapidity through grammar school, high school and college.

It deals, on principle, exclusively with innate traits of the individual.
6. oldal - ... 1896, Brinton disavowed the narrow scope of ethnology (1896a, p. 7) and in 1917 Lowie said: For purely practical reasons, connected with the minute subdivision of labor which has become imperative with modern specialization, ethnology has in practice concerned itself with the cultures of the cruder peoples without a knowledge of writing. But this division is an illogical and artificial one. As the biologist can study life as manifested in the human organism as well as in the amoeba, so the ethnologist...
97. oldal - as the engineer calls on the physicist for a knowledge of mechanical laws," says RH Lowie, " so the social builder of the future who would seek to refashion the culture of his time and add to its cultural values, will seek guidance from ethnology, the science of culture, which in Tylor's judgment is ' essentially a reformer's science '."
