Line 1:

'''Primitivism''' is the condition or quality of being primitive.

Primitivism can refer to any philosophy which seeks to return to their roots, such as [[Muslim]]s and [[Christian]]s who seek to return to the first few centuries of [[Islam]] or [[Christianity]]. The [[Amish]] are a particularly obvious example of this, and the [[Primitive Baptist Church]] is another.

[[Indigenous people]]s and their beliefs and practices are sometimes described as "primitive", a usage that is seen as unhelpful and inaccurate by the vast majority of contemporary [[anthropologist]]s and similar professionals.
