'''Primitive''' is a subjective label used to imply that one thing is less "sophisticated" or less "advanced" than some other thing. Being a comparative word it is also relative in nature.
[[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.

[[Anarcho-primitivism]] advocates a return to a primitive condition. [[Luddites]] had a related philosophy.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive]
