social science The study of the social features of humans and the ways in which they interact
and change
Social science is the branch of science devoted to the study of societies and the
relationships among individuals within those societies. The term was formerly
used to refer to the field of sociology, the original "science of society",
established in the 19th century. In addition to sociology, it now encompasses a
wide array of academic disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology,
economics, human geography, linguistics, management science, media studies,
political science, psychology, and social history. (For a more detailed list of sub-
disciplines within the social sciences see: Outline of social science.)
Archaeology is one of the social sciences.
Positivist social scientists use methods resembling those of the natural sciences
as tools for understanding society, and so define science in its stricter modern
sense. Interpretivist social scientists, by contrast, may use social critique or
symbolic interpretation rather than constructing empirically falsifiable theories,
and thus treat science in its broader sense. In modern academic practice,
researchers are often eclectic, using multiple methodologies (for instance, by
combining both quantitative and qualitative research). The term "social research"

has also acquired a degree of autonomy as practitioners from various disciplines
share in its aims and methods.
The social science disciplines are branches of knowledge taught and researched
at the college or university level. Social science disciplines are defined and
recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the
learned social science societies and academic departments or faculties to which
their practitioners belong. Social science fields of study usually have several
sub-disciplines or branches, and the distinguishing lines between these are often
both arbitrary and ambiguous.

Anthropology Study of the origins and development of people and their societies
study of humans
Anthropology is the holistic "science of man", a science of the totality of human
existence. The discipline deals with the integration of different aspects of the
social sciences, humanities, and human biology. In the twentieth century,
academic disciplines have often been institutionally divided into three broad
domains. The natural sciences seek to derive general laws through reproducible
and verifiable experiments. The humanities generally study local traditions,
through their history, literature, music, and arts, with an emphasis on
understanding particular individuals, events, or eras. The social sciences have
generally attempted to develop scientific methods to understand social
phenomena in a generalizable way, though usually with methods distinct from
those of the natural sciences.
The anthropological social sciences often develop nuanced descriptions rather
than the general laws derived in physics or chemistry, or they may explain
individual cases through more general principles, as in many fields of
psychology. Anthropology (like some fields of history) does not easily fit into
one of these categories, and different branches of anthropology draw on one or
more of these domains.[9] Within the United States, anthropology is divided into
four sub-fields: archaeology, physical or biological anthropology,
anthropological linguistics, and cultural anthropology. It is an area that is offered
