Subject field(s)
  • Ethnobiology
DEF

The study of the reciprocal relationships between human cultures and the natural world.

OBS

Reciprocal relationships here refer to the human perception of the biological environment, which will ultimately influence man’s behaviour, while human behaviour in turn influences – or shapes – the biological environment.

OBS

Ethnobiology encompasses ethnotaxonomy(study of the classification principles of animals, plants, soils, and ecosystems according to local peoples), ethnomedicine(study of the cultural concepts of health, disease and illness, and of the nature of local healing systems), ethnoecology(study of traditional environmental knowledge and of anthropogenic effects on the environment), ethnoagronomy(study of subsistence economies and resource management), and material culture(study of biological resources used in art and technology).
