While the travel account is a species of ethnography, classic realist ethnographies are sharply distinguished from travel writing by their respective moral assessments of other cultures and interest in adventure. In contemporary discussions of the creation of the anthropologist and ethnography, separation of experience and outcome is a central puzzle which may be clarified by an examination of how anthropologists' accounts are and are not traveler's tales
