E.B. Tyler's theory of unilinear evolution, which proposed that societies evolve through a series of stages from simple to complex, influenced many anthropologists and sociologists. One prominent figure inspired by Tyler's ideas was Lewis Henry Morgan. Morgan, an American anthropologist, built upon Tyler's framework of unilinear evolution in his own work, particularly in his seminal work "Ancient Society." In this book, Morgan proposed a theory of cultural evolution that categorized societies into stages based on their technological and social organization, ranging from savagery to barbarism to civilization.
