History and the Social Sciences

History and social sciences are fields that explore human behavior, societies, and how they develop over time. History examines past events, understanding how societies, cultures, and institutions have changed, helping us learn from the past. Social sciences, including sociology, anthropology, and political science, analyze current human interactions, social structures, and relationships. Together, they provide insights into why people act as they do, how communities function, and how historical forces shape our world. These disciplines help us understand ourselves and navigate the complexities of human society.
