Which is better?

Sociology is typically held as one of the least academic and reliable of the social-sciences. Personally, I thought anthropology was far more scientific (physical, anyway).

 

Anthropology tends to have a better connotation in academic circles, but cultural anthropology can be somewhat fluffy. I think it's better than sociology, though.

Anthropology deals with any of a number of branches, including homimin evolution, human biology, archaeology, and ethnology. It normally falls on hard scientifical evidence that can be observed and tested. Plus it's a friggin' Helluva lot cooler :)

 

Probably more easily earned money to be made in sociology though :-(

I'm a zoology major who really loves paleontology and evolutionary biology, so anthro is right up my alley. Finding fossils, deducing what we can about their ancient behaviors and cultures, how and why we evolved, why Homo sapiens sapiens is the only remaining hominid, etc, etc, etc.

 

I hate people, so studying the the reasons why people in general are so stupid doesn't really appeal to me :P
