An ethnologist is the person who does ethnology: someone who compares how different peoples live, think, and organise their worlds — kinship, belief, tools, language. Not a tourist and not a news reporter; a scholar, usually in a university, a museum, or a research institute. Older senses tied the job to “ of people.” Though actually, the living job is the comparative study of cultures and ethnic groups, and many people in the United States would simply call the same person a cultural anthropologist. Formal, rare in everyday English.

ethnologistnoun/ˈɛθˈnɑləd͡ʒəst/
- 1
One who practices ethnology.
- The learned modern Ethnologists, however, will generally have none of this latter idea. As a rule they delight in representing early peoples as totally destitute of common sense (which is supposed to be a monopoly of us moderns!); and if the Sabbath-arrangement has had any value or use they insist on ascribing this to pure accident, and not to the application of any sane argument or reason.
