Abstract
What ethnobotanists
have thought about ethnobotany today? After more than 100 years of
formal definition in this area of knowledge, it is possible to imagine
that some things have changed in this way. Thus, in this chapter, we
will seek to address some of the current thinking about the path that
ethnobotany has taken or will still have to go on to consolidate its
identity as a science. Of course, such thoughts do not necessarily
correspond to a consensus among ethnobotanists but instead emerge from
concerns presented by some research groups, particularly the authors of
this book.
