Answer:

ethnology

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural anthropology tries to understand different societies by studying their cultures.

It has two components: ethnography and ethnology.

Ethnography tries to understand and study individual cultures by going and living in a culture to learn about a society.

Ethnology tries to study different cultures. Therefore, it is comparative.
