Here, with appropriate local subdivision, are entered works on the discipline of ethnology, and works on the origin, distribution, and characteristics of the elements of the population of a particular region or country. Theoretical works on the concept of groups of people who are bound together by common ties of ancestry and culture are entered under [Ethnic groups.] Works on the subjective sense of belonging to an individual ethnic group are entered under [Ethnicity.] General works on racial, religious, ethnic, or other minority groups are entered under [Minorities.]

Directory metadata is not a factual answer or evidence of a global knowledge gap.
