Early anthropology was divided between proponents of unilinealism, who argued that all societies passed through a single evolutionary process, from the most primitive to the most advanced, and various forms of non-lineal theorists, who tended to subscribe to ideas such as diffusionism.[37] Most nineteenth-century social theorists, including anthropologists, viewed non-European societies as windows onto the pre-industrial human past. In other countries (and in some, particularly smaller, British and North American universities), anthropologists have also found themselves institutionally linked with scholars of folklore, museum studies, human geography, sociology, social relations, ethnic studies, cultural studies, and social work. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3958.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3958.txt
