Emilie Durkheim argued that "totemism" was the "beginning" of all other more "developed forms of religion".
Explanation:
Two scholars such as Emilie Durkheim and James Frazer claimed that totemism is the universal phenomenon of religion through which other religions and societies should follow.
It is a "belief system" where humans are said to have mystical relationship with spirits such as animal or plant. These interactions are led to serve their symbols or emblems.
According to Durkheim, religion is a 'unified system of beliefs' related to "sacred things".
