- Sociology
- Demography
- Anthropology
- Psychology
- Geography

- History
- Economics

● Each discipline or subfield of the social sciences is a specialized study of a particular aspect of human society.
● Sociology is concerned with the study of society and the different facets of human social relationships.
● Demography is defined as the statistical analysis of populations.
● Anthropology aims to study humans’ culture and evolution.
● Psychology is the branch of social science that examines different mental states and behaviors.
● Geography is the study of the Earth’s physical properties and the distribution of human societies and other elements across
it.
● Linguistics is referred to as the systematic study of language.
● History studies past events and their causes and effects.
● Economics looks into how wealth is produced, distributed, and consumed.
● The social sciences are disciplines that deal with the affairs of people—both as individuals and as a society.
● There are different periods of development of the social sciences:
○ The social sciences began as early as Ancient Greece where philosophy was distinct from science.
○ The Middle Ages suppressed the growing interest of people in understanding social events and its impact on
people.
○ The Scientific Revolution became a fresh start for social sciences to prosper.
○ The Age of Enlightenment provided a venue for social scientists to introduce different ideas and theories.
○ Industrialization and capitalism in the 19th century propelled numerous social thinkers to examine society.
○ Social science became an integral part of academe in the 20th century.
○ The social sciences in the 21st century saw a proliferation of new fields of study and the convergence of social
 science disciplines.
● The humanities are a branch of knowledge that seeks to understand human reactions to events and the meanings humans
impose on experiences.
● The natural sciences are a branch of knowledge that aims to predict and explain all natural phenomena.
