Anthropology
Ethnology (from the Greek, ethnos meaning "family, lineage, people") is the
branch of anthropology that compares and analyzes the origins, distribution,
technology, religion, language, and social structure of the ethnic, racial,
and/or national divisions of humanity.
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. The term ethnology is credited
to Adam Franz Kollár.
