Definición

  • Anthropological studies of religion had their beginnings in the late 19th century, with the seminal works of Max Muller, W. Robertson Smith,Edward B. Tylor, and James G. Frazer. These scholars, of course, were not the first to take an interest in the comparative study of religion, nor were they the first to speculate on the religions of preliterate and tribal peoples.
