If she's an archer, where's her quiver?
I've read The Golden Bough. The amount of work put in that book is breathtaking. I agree he never touched many biological, environmental and some other factors, but if he did, he would probably died before ever writing a book as it's too much work for a single person. Still his approach to cultural analysis feels really solid.
Also, never noticed anything justifying cultural hierarchy, at least I don't remember such statements. He was just looking for cultures less touched by civilization to find traces of older religious practices, but he never said they were better or worse than others. Instead he explained how their seemingly ridiculous rituals were actually aimed for the good and what thinking process lies behind them. Somewhere closer to the end of the book he even mentioned how big modern religions aren't that different from the very first shamans and magicians.
But I agree that modern approach has evolved greatly since that time.
This person’s idea came from the belief that human culture evolves in one direction—towards modern society. If a culture doesn’t go that way, it’s seen as not advanced enough yet.
That’s why it might seem that way, and honestly, I kind of agree. But, to be fair, this person lived over 100 years ago. We can’t really blame today’s world for that, but the idea still sticks around
