Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lewis H.Morgan's theory of Unilinear Cultural Evolution classified societies into three stages: savage, barbaric, and civilized, based on technological and social progress rather than skin color or birth decade. This theory did not argue for the equality of all cultures but rather suggested a linear progression from 'lower' to 'higher' stages of cultural development.
