	Sociology - Crystalinks
		Social theory refers to the use of abstract and often complex theoretical frameworks to explain and analyze social patterns and macro social structures in social life, rather than explaining patterns of social life.
		It is social life that is distinctive in the regulation of behaviour in human beings; the human animal does not have such instincts as serve to guide the behaviour of lower animals, and he is therefore more dependent on social organization than is any other species.
		The relation of sociology to social anthropology is even closer, and until about the first quarter of the 20th century the two subjects were usually combined in one department, differentiated mainly by the emphasis of the anthropologists on the sociology of preliterate peoples.

	Róbinson Rojas.- SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND CHANGE: RRojas Databank: Analysis and Information on economics, development, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The notion of social structure implies, in other words, that human beings are not completely free and autonomous in choosing their activities, but rather they are constrained by the social world they live in and the social relations they form with one another.
		In his view, the components of the social structure have indispensable functions for each other--the continued existence of the one component is dependent on that of the others--and for the society as a whole, which is seen as an integrated, organic entity.
		The social significance of such technological breakthroughs as the invention of the smelting of iron, the introduction of the plow in agriculture, the invention of the steam engine, and the development of the computer is indeed evident.

		The social sciences, sociology and anthropology in particular, have long enjoyed a love-hate relationship with evolutionary theories of society, with the periods of love alternating with periods of hate in a striking pattern of ebb and flow.
		Evolutionism emerged and became extremely popular during the 1850-1873 A phase (although some major evolutionary works were written somewhat after that time, which probably means that we have to allow for a certain amount of lag of intellectual phases after economic phases).
		Evolutionism was starting on its first decline during the latter part of the B phase of 1873-1897 (intellectual lag again).

	Sociocultural evolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sociocultural evolutionism was the prevailing theory of early sociocultural anthropology and social commentary, and is associated with scholars like August Comte, Edward Burnett Tylor, Lewis Henry Morgan, Benjamin Kidd, L.T. Hobhouse and Herbert Spencer.
		The world of social science took the ideas of biological evolution as an attractive solution to similar questions regarding the origins and development of social behaviour and the idea of a society as an evolving organism was a biological analogy that is taken up by many anthropologists and sociologists even today.
		Because social evolution was posited as a scientific theory, it was often used to support unjust and often racist social practices—particularly colonialism, slavery, and the unequal economic conditions present within industrialised Europe.

		Keller's criticism of social darwinism (1916) was purely scientific, not political, and he was an adherent of eugenics, which until the second world war was widely regarded as a progressive idea.
		There was a strong opposition between social darwinism and socialism, because the former philosophy assumes that weakness is inborn and must naturally lead to an unkind fate, whereas the socialists believe that poverty and weakness are caused by social factors and ought to be remedied.

	Monistic Evolutionism As A Pseudo-Paradigm For Theories Of Human Action
		But since nature presents mutually contradictory behavior of ruthlessness and brutality "red in tooth and claw" as well as of empathy and cooperation, diametrically opposite choices for human individual and social action are plausible and of equal "validity." We have seen this dilemma already with the individualist and socialist schools of economics.
		However, modern anthropology is still committed to monist evolutionism (usually neo-Darwinism), and has therefore replaced the "standard" of cultural stages and racial aptitude by a thoroughgoing cultural and historical relativism proclaiming that no culture or custom is better or worse than any other.
		Along with his social Darwinist followers, he set about to demonstrate the "aristocratic" and non-democratic character of the laws of nature up to his death in 1919, Haeckel contributed to that special variety of German thought which served as the seed-bed for National Socialism.
