A scientist or researcher who studies the characteristics, traditions, and daily lives of different cultures and ethnic groups by observing and interviewing them.
From ethno- (people/culture) and -grapher (Greek 'graphia' meaning description). The profession formalized in the late 19th century as anthropologists began systematic cultural documentation.
Ethnographers often live within communities for years to truly understand how people actually live—it's like becoming a cultural detective who learns the unwritten rules nobody thinks to explain.
