Anthropology and History of Science
From
The social sciences started out as human sciences but shed this constraint as evolutionary anthropologists turned their attention to animal groups. This confronts us with a paradox: why has the collapse of the dichotomies of nature/society and nature/culture not led to a rapprochement between humanities, social research, and natural sciences?
