Explain how sociology relates with biology.

Francis
Nineteenth-century sociology, influenced by the successes of biology and evolutionary theory, took an interest in resemblances between men and lower animals in their having, for example, similar instincts and also in the parallels between biological and social evolution. These interests have declined but sociology continues to share with other sciences some interest in ecology, behavioural genetics and questions of fertility and mortality as they relate to population studies. There is also a conviction among sociologists that contact between physiology and sociology is necessary to avoid errors of ignorance in both fields.
