HERNANDEZ PRADO, José. Sociological Anthropocentrism: Sociology as Not-Solely Human Science. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2015, vol.30, n.84, pp.207-227. ISSN 2007-8358.

Since its origins and its classic authors of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sociology has been conceived of as a science of primarily human social phenomena. It was only in the last quarter of the twentieth century that scholars became more aware that other animal species have a rich social life. Sociology should no longer be understood as a purely "human" science, but as a human-cultural and natural science that is not divorced from the natural sciences. Between the natural sciences and the "human and social" sciences, there could be greater communication and linkages.
