anthropology
Anthropologie and Ethnologie both study humans and cultures. Anthropologie takes a broader view of humans and also includes their biological development and behavior. Ethnologie focuses on the systematic comparison of peoples and cultures. Anthropologie is therefore more appropriate for biological questions, while Ethnologie is used for cultural comparison.
