Question

Is sociology a good idea to take in college for geneaolgy? or are they different?

Answer 1

They are different.  Geneology is the study of peoples heritage, their ethnicity, their nationality, who their grandfathers and grandmothers were, that kind of thing.

Sociology is the study of human interaction.

The goals of each of these subjects are completely different.

Answer 2

Sociology is the study of group behavior so since genealogy is about ancestors, I would take it to learn more about how my ancestors differ from us.
