The tree of culture

Book • 1956
Ralph Linton's 'The Tree of Culture' explores mechanisms of cultural growth, diffusion, and change, using metaphor and comparative examples to discuss how cultural systems evolve.

Linton addresses acculturation, social organization, and the interplay between environment and culture.

The book served as a mid-20th-century synthesis for anthropologists and students of culture.

Lynch includes it among his sources for understanding macro-cultural development.
