The term "culture" has its roots in Latin, derived from "cultura," which means cultivation or care. However, the modern anthropological concept of culture was popularized by the British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor in his 1871 work "Primitive Culture." Tylor defined culture as that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by humans as members of society.
