Ethnology-open-access-journals

             Ethnology began in the 18th century as a systematic effort to obtain and compare information about European populations that did not have a written record of their history and cultural heritage. The term "ethnology", which was discovered as a derivative of the Greek word "ethnos" and means "people", shows in the most general sense scientific interest about how groups of people relate to material culture, language, religion, moral ideas or social institutions. Early developments in ethnology included speculative theories about the supposed link between cultural and biological differences in groups. Ethnology was initially considered a branch of anthropology. At the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, the general term anthropology had far broader scientific interests than it does today, and in addition to ethnology it also included physical anthropology, linguistics, and archeology. Ethnology is usually regarded as one of the main departments of cultural anthropology, the other being anthropological archeology and anthropological linguistics.
