History The peoples of Northeast Europe have roots in prehistory, but these are obscure and can only be examined through archeology. They are also obscure in antiquity, but a few hints can be considered. Linguistic evidence suggests that the Indo-European speaking poeples may have originated here. In classical and medieval times, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and other Northeast European peoples began to have a written history. In modern times, they began to become prominent in European and world history. Their future has not yet been examined
Other Sociology Other peoples of the world, communities, and social structure and change can be applied to examination of Northeast European peoples. Institutions The religion of these peoples including belief can be considered. Particular traditions are predominantly abrahamic. Christianity including Old christianity, Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism, and Mormonism can be connected. Islam can be connected. Judaism can be connected. Secularism is also important. Pagan religion including european pagan, Asian pagan, African pagan, american Indian pagan, and Neopagan religion can be considered. Asiatic religions are also known. Religious organization is a mixture of well structured, fragmented, and unstrutured. Religious practice has not yet been well examined. Government including law, government structure, and government activities can be considered. Particular governments including national government, and local government can be connected. International government including traditional empires, colonial empires, and modern compacts can be connected. Economics including activities, industries, and systems is important. Education including research, teaching, cultural institutions, educational organization, and particular schools will be important. Families including marriage, parenting, kinship, and particular families can be considered. Culture Behavioral culture such as customs, occupations, recreation and entertainment, and cultural events can be considered. Conceptual culture such as language, graphic arts, literature, applied science, and philosophy will be useful. Material culture such as industrial technology, building technology, foodstuffs, clothing and dress, transportation technology, communication technology, and other artifacts will also be added. Anthropology Particular groups will be useful. Human geography includes large parts of European geography and Asian geography. Human ecology including effect of the environment on people, relations with other people, and the effect of people on the environment can be connected. Physical anthropology including human origins, racial variation, and human dispersion can be connected. Demography including births, migration, deaths, population size and structure, and population change is also useful. Social foundations including social presentation, interaction, social control, cocial group behavior, and group types are a low level. Applications of personal studies may be useful. Biography is not yet well developed. Copernicus Genghis Khan Stalin Lenin Peter I (the Great) Gorbachev Curie The human body including body systems, body function, life cycle, disease, and form and appearance can be connected. Psychology including behavioral elements, mind, behavior patterns, developmental psychology, mental disorers, personality, and social psychology may be useful. Science is not as useful to Northeast European peoples as other areas. Physics and chemistry are less directly useful than astronomy, earth science, and biology.
