interrelationships of man to his
social environment.
SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY
-studies the past and ancient civilizations and their
application to smaller social groups.
- is interested in ancient societies and smaller
groups

SOCIOLOGY

itself with human social relationships with special
emphasis on groups and institution

findings of anthropology in its analysis and
interpretations of human behavior in associative
living.
