• «Этнос - это исторически сложившаяся на определенной территории устойчивая совокупность людей, обладающих общими относительно стабильными особенностями языка, культуры и психики, а также сознанием своего единства и отличия от других подобных образований (самосознанием), фиксированным в самоназвании» (Ю. В. Бромлей). • «Этносы - явление, лежащее на границе биосферы и социосферы и имеющие весьма специальное назначение в строении биосферы Земли» . Этнос - явление не биологическое и не социальное, а маргинальное, т. е. лежащее на границе биосферы и социосферы. (Л. Н. Гумилев)

(L. G. Pochebu)t Thus, the term "ethnic group" describes a group of people bound by a single system of attitudes and values developed in the course of ethnogenesis.
