The study of up to date cultures, so as to develop a theoretical framework for analysing human society. Cultural anthropologists which are used to generally study societies by living among the people, observing, interviewing, and participating in their activities. More than simply describing the customs of these societies, anthropologists attempt to uncover underlying patterns and structures of cultural characteristics, such as language, mythology, gender roles, symbols (see also symbol), and rituals. the branch of anthropology that deals with races and peoples, their relations to at least one another, their origins, and their distinctive characteristics a branch of social anthropology dealing chiefly with the comparative and analytical study of cultures a science that which deals with the division of citizenry into races and their origin, distribution, relations, and characteristics. Ethnology is generally regarded as one of the major subdivisions of cultural anthropology, the others being anthropological
archaeology and anthropological linguistics. Anthropology is prefixed to the latter two terms because they refer to the
archaeology and linguistics largely of preliterate and preindustrial peoples. The
archaeology of classical Greece and the linguistics of contemporary France would rarely, if ever, be taught in an anthropology department. The claim that anthropology embraces all peoples past and present has been exaggerated by some anthropologists, although the present trend, especially in ethnology, is toward giving attention to a wider range of peoples. In the United States today, but less so in Europe, ethnology is joined to social anthropology.
