What is the difference between ethnology and anthropology?
Ethnology and Anthropology are two disciplines between which some difference can be observed.
Anthropology is a field of study that focuses on human origins, societies, and culture. On the other hand, ethnology is the study of the characteristics of different peoples.
Is ethnology a science?
Scientific discipline
Compared to ethnography, the study of single groups through direct contact with the culture, ethnology takes the research that ethnographers have compiled and then compares and contrasts different cultures.
Why is ethnology important?
Ethnology is important to cultural anthropology, as it helps us to recognize unique features in a culture, and because it helps bring our own culture into the mix, making the strange familiar and the familiar strange.
But through adopting ethnology, we should be cautious when seeking universals.
What is involved in doing ethnology?
Ethnography is time-intensive, iterative, and open-ended, and includes observing, listening, reflecting, experiencing, writing, and learning from peoples, places, situations, institutions, landscapes, and things.
