Abstract

One of the aims of science is to free human beings from limits to information. The social Sciences are not well equipped in this respect. Culture and consciousness have not liberated US from evolution: a fact that has been ignored by most students of social science. The latter have developped over the last decades turning their back to spectacular developments in other, related, fields. This article tries to explain the implications of such mistake, as the developments of the social are constrained and determined by the conditions of nature.There is an extraordinary proliferation of research projects and publications devoted to the relations between cognitive science and sociology, cognitive science and normative social science, cognitive science and the science of culture as well as evolutionary biology with all these. Such developments have created a serious problem for the theoretical defence of scientific fragmentation.
