The academic field that studies how ethnic groups are distributed across Earth's surface and how geography shapes ethnic cultures, identities, and development.
From ethno- (ethnic) and geography (Greek 'geo' earth plus 'graphia' description). An interdisciplinary field that emerged in late 20th century combining geography with cultural anthropology.
Ethnogeography explains why people living in similar environments often developed similar lifestyles even on different continents—desert peoples developed nomadic patterns everywhere!
