Henry See also:Christy the ethnologist, with whom he visited See also:Mexico
.
Tylor's association with Christy greatly stimulated his awakening See also:interest in See also:anthropology, and his visit to Mexico, with its See also:rich prehistoric remains, led him to make a systematic study of the See also:science
.
While on a visit to See also:Cannes he wrote a See also:record of his observations, entitled See also:Anahuac; or, Mexico and the Mexicans, See also:Ancient. and See also:Modern, which was published in 1861

It showed See also:great See also:research, See also:original insight, and much constructive See also:power in the formation of systematic views

Tylor's treatment of See also:animism (chs.xi.-xvii.) was particularly elaborate, and he first determined the limits of that See also:province of anthropology intending it to include " the general See also:doctrine of souls, and other spiritual beings." In 1881 See also:Tyler published a smaller and more popular handbook on Anthropology
