Abstract<br />

In continuation of former studies on ethnobiodiversity the following (theoretical) questions<br />

are briefly examined in the paper:<br />

• May ethnobotany be useful in understanding crop-plant and human (biological,<br />

linguistic, cultural, religious) evolution in a time of raising ethnocultural conflicts?<br />

• Which possibilities are offered by ethnobotany in promoting mutual ethnocultural<br />

empathy and understanding?<br />

• Is it possible to integrate ethnobotanical concepts, the evolution of man-and-plant<br />

relations with emerging theories of general (biological, cultural) evolution?<br />

• How the science of ethnobotany really emerged in form of an independent printed<br />

book based on dedicated and conscious field studies?<br />

• Are the basic concepts of ethnobotany well defined?<br />

• Is the North American ethnobotanical approach the right model to follow?<br />

Motto: No perfect discovery can be made upon a flat or a level … BACON (1605, cf.<br />

WILSON 1998)<br />
