Ethnologists study and compare cultures, focusing on the social behaviors, customs, traditions, and practices of different groups of people. They often conduct fieldwork to observe and document cultural practices and analyze the significance of these behaviors within their respective societies. Ethnologists seek to understand how cultural diversity shapes human societies and social interactions.
Ethnologists have focused on nonliterary people because they often preserve traditional oral cultures and practices that have been largely unaffected by written texts. By studying nonliterary communities, ethnologists can gain valuable insights into the ways in which cultures transmit knowledge, customs, and beliefs orally across generations. Additionally, nonliterary societies are often marginalized and understudied, making their documentation important for preserving cultural diversity.
Ethnography is the study of single groups in direct contact with their culture. The discipline of ethnology involves comparing and contrasting different cultures through the information compiled by ethnographers.
