In the late 19 th century, attempts to discover laws regarding human behavior became increasingly common. The rise of statistics and probability theory in the 20 th century also contributed to the attempt to mathematically model human behavior in the social sciences.

However, inspite of the mutual relationship and dependence both the sciences differ from each other in the following ways.
Sociology is the mother of all social sciences. Hence it has close and intimate relationship with Anthropology. The relationship is so close that Anthropologists like A. Kroeber consider Sociology and Anthropology as twin sisters. They often appear as two names for the same subject. Reddfield recognizes the closeness between these two social sciences.
