Most areas of science including physics, chemistry, astronomy, earth science, and biology seem to be at best indirectly connected to social structure. Personal studies including the human body, psychology, and biography may be applicable. Anthropology including connections to social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, and human ecology will be significant. Human geography including European geography, Asian geography, African geography, North American geography, South American georaphy, and Oceanic geography will be useful. Particular groups will be important.	Links to other sites: Not yet developed

History Prehistory will be useful in examination of social structure. I lack details from early prehistory, middle prehistory, and late prehistory. I also lack details on study of the subject during antiquity, and I will want to follow these concepts through the 5th millennium BC, the 4th millennium BC, the 3rd millennium BC, the 2nd millennium bC, and the early first millennium BC. I lack also details on study of this subject in classical and medieval times, and will wish to follow these concepts through early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times.
