Answer:

Anthropology, the comparative study of past and present cultures, is most similar to sociology in its subject matter. Anthropologists have traditionally concentrated on examining past cultures and less advanced societies. Sociology is different from anthropology in that it is interested in group behavior in more advanced societies.

The key difference between the two social sciences is that sociology concentrates on society while anthropology focuses on culture.
