Reviewing the legal and the academic history of the usage of the terms genocide and ethnocide, Bartolomé Clavero differentiates them by stating that "Genocide kills people while ethnocide kills social cultures through the killing of individual souls".[4] According to Martin Shaw, ethnocide or cultural genocide is possible without a genocide.[1]
