Abstract
The interactions between humans and animals: the contribution of ethnozoology. In this review paper, the variety of interactions established between human cultures and animals is approached through the perspective of ethnozoology. As a branch of ethnobiology, ethnozoology investigates the knowledge, uses, and significance of animals in human societies. The following subjects are discussed: definition, foundations and history of ethnozoology, study areas, applicability of ethnozoological knowledge, and ethical aspects of research. As a scientific approach, ethnozoology is useful as a valuable interpretative tool when the interactions between humans and animals of a given region are to be studied.Downloads
