Delete this dishonest article

This article is written as though any time an anthropologist or sociologist uses the term "cultural trait", they are obliged to follow the schema invented by a biologist, Julian Huxley, presented in a 1955 guest editorial in a anthropology yearbook, a schema that Huxley himself never returned to. One might add a capnote "Needs help from an expert", except that it's precisely cockamamie articles like this one that make experts avoid Wikipedia in the first place (as attested by the large number of Needs help from an expert capnotes over 10 years old). The idea that Edward Burnett Tylor, who died in 1917, depended upon the conceptual clarity of terms cleverly coined by Huxley in 1955, is pure farce. Delete.
