If you have an interest in writing a guest post for this blog, I would love for you to do so.Robert Paul Wolffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970360952872431856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-62453528475002145852011-06-07T09:00:20.916-04:002011-06-07T09:00:20.916-04:00Many thanks for the comment.

I did not know that [one more consequence of venturing beyond my area of expertise.] I recall that Morgan influenced Marx, but I was quite unaware that Tylor was, as you describe him, an institution builder.

Tylor was more important as an institution-builder (and probably in popular understandings of the primitive), but Morgan's evolutionary account was ultimately the more long-lasting within anthropology. He was the greater influence on Marx and on Sahlins.Steven Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220335740297514556noreply@blogger.com
