natural vs. social sciences

The intro says: "Contemporary science is typically subdivided into the natural sciences which study the material world, the social sciences which study people and societies..." I do not see how this makes sense. People and societies are part of the material world as well, aren't they? Is it supposed to be "... natural sciences which study nature ..."? --rtc (talk) 11:36, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Be bold. --Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 12:26, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While people are often considered as material beings, or depending on your position on consciousness as material and/or conscious beings, the division of human scholarly effort separates the disciplines which deal with the physical world separable from conscious or social behaviour, and the material world which is conscious or social.

Image question

Are there any better top page images out there, other than the current? -Inowen (talk) 20:11, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the previous image as it is more reflective of the broader nature of this article, which encompasses not just physics, biology, and chemistry, but also the behavioral, social, and formal sciences as well. danielkueh (talk) 01:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
