Origin era places a social theory in the period when it was actually first developed. Wikipedia records that Durkheim, one of structural functionalism's major proponents, published his first major sociological work in "1893," anchoring the theory's early development squarely in the late 19th century. Browsing by origin era traces how social theories have built on each other over time.
