Synopsis
Ethnograpliy is the science which deals with the cultures of human groups. By culture we understand the sum total of what an indiyidual acquires from his society those beliefs, customs, artistic norms, foodhabits, and crafts which come to him not by his own jere ative activity but as a legacy from the past, conveyed by formal or informal education. The relation of ethnography to sister disciplines is thus clear. I tis that part of antliropology (in theE nglish sense of the vord, the whole science of man) which is not primarily concerned with races as biological di-.. visions oi Homo sapiens and does not interest itself in the psychology of individuals except insofar as it reflects or influences society. On the other hand, prehistoryJ ls, sunply the ethnograpliy of extinct social groups. At times ethnography shares its subject matter with.. literature, but its attitude is distinct. An exotic milieu, say, Tahiti, impresses itself on the sensibilities of a Pierre Loti, whose talent may convey similar thrills to the reader. An ethnographer does less and more.
