	Animism - ninemsn Encarta
		According to Tylor, “primitive peoples”, defined as those without written traditions, believe that spirits or souls are the cause of life in human beings and picture souls as phantoms, resembling vapours or shadows, which can transmigrate from person to person, from the dead to the living, and from and into plants, animals, and lifeless objects.
		Tylor took the term animism from the 18th-century German doctor and chemist Georg Ernst Stahl, who had coined the word to describe his theory that the soul is the vital principle responsible for organic development.
		Tylor had intended to use the term “Spiritualism” but as that was already in use as the name of a specific religious movement, he chose “animism” instead.

	Edward Burnett Tylor, Sir Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The English anthropologist Sir Edward Burnett Tylor (1832-1917) was concerned with theories of cultural evolution and diffusion, and he advanced influential theories regarding the origins of magic and religion.
		Tylor is generally credited with being the most influential expositor of the concept of animism (the idea that primitive men endow all things with vital supernatural powers) and the concept of survivals (that irrational, superannuated practices and beliefs continue past their period of usefulness).
		Tylor's early career showed an emphasis on progressive evolution, but this was later modified to give attention to the diffusion of cultural traits from society to society.

	Totemism - New World Encyclopedia Preview
		Edward Burnett Tylor (1832–1917), the famous anthropologist, expanded totemism beyond the worship of plants and animals, claiming that it was actually an early exercise in the instinct within humans to classify their surrounding world.
		Drawing on the identification of social group with spiritual totems in Australian aboriginal tribes, Durkheim theorized that all human religious expression was intrinsically founded in relationship to the group from which it emerges.
		While Tylor insisted that all religion arises from animism and Frazer put forth the view that religion spawns from an understanding of magic, Durkheim found these theories to be insufficient.
