Abstract
La etnozoología estudia las interacciones humanos-animales. Inicialmente su enfoque era una simple documentación sobre los animales que los indígenas en determinada región conocían y utilizaban. Actualmente la creciente construcción de su marco teórico-conceptual ha permitido desarrollar investigaciones multidisciplinarias que incluyen aspectos de orden perceptual, cognitivo, de aprovechamiento y conservación. Su estudio en México es relevante, remonta a las documentaciones realizadas durante la conquista, sí aplicamos el concepto simple y utilitarista, pero la primera publicación con tintes etnozoológicos aparece en 1791 con Alzate y Ramírez, sin embargo, fue hasta 1889 que se publica el primer texto formal sobre el conocimiento y uso de las conchas y moluscos. Su desarrollo histórico puede seguirse en tres fuentes que recopilan el estado del conocimiento, incluyendo aspectos conceptuales y de origen, su desarrollo y las contribuciones publicadas de finales de 1800 a principios del siglo XXI.
Abstract
Ethnozoology studies the interactions between humans and animals. Initially their approach was a simple documentation of indigenous animals in a region known and used, currently growing building their theoretical and conceptual framework has allowed the development of multidisciplinary research including aspects of cognitive, perceptual, order of use, development and conservation. Their study is relevant in Mexico, back to the documentation made during the conquest if we apply the simple and utilitarian concept, but the first publication to appear in 1791 ethnozoological dyes with Alzate and Ramirez, but was until 1889 that the first formal text is published on the knowledge and use of the shells and molluscs. Its historical development can be followed in three sources that compile the state of knowledge, including conceptual aspects and origin, its development and contributions published in late 1800 to early twenty-first century.
