How is sociology different from Anthropology?

[tickle]

The distinction is an elusive one, because the moment you try to draw the
Boundaries of either discipline, you will find something that falls outside
It.

There was a time when one could say that sociology was mainly the study of
Urban societies, while anthropology was mainly concerned with rural ones, but
There are many exceptions to that too.

Anthropology was concerned with observable interactions between people - anthropologists do fieldwork in
Which they watch people interact, while sociologists deal with much larger
Groups, and use statistics, surveys etc.

[George_1950]

Sociology is the study of groups within society. I suppose it includes the study of sub-groups, just can't think of any. Anthropology, the study of humans, divides into the study of cultural and physical anthropology. Cultural anthropology is the study of various cultures, while physical anthropology is the study human development. anthropology - Definitions from Dictionary.com
