The document provides an overview of the emergence of social science disciplines. It begins by listing key social science fields such as economics, anthropology, history, political science, geography, linguistics and sociology. It then presents a pre-test with multiple choice questions that assess understanding of the historical foundations of these disciplines. The answers identify disciplines such as anthropology as the study of human life and culture, geography as the study of physical features and human activity on earth, economics as initially the study of household resource allocation, history as the study of past events, and linguistics as the study of language. The document concludes by defining social science as a branch of science dealing with human behavior and its social and cultural aspects.
