8. THE AUXILIARY SCIENCES History as a science possesses different branches (which has been already studied), and at there are several sciences interrelated with History. These sciences can be divided in: Social sciences Human sciences Natural sciences Formal or exact sciences

9. SOCIAL SCIENCES Social or Cultural Anthropology: studies culture, thus anything and everything created by human (material or non-material), as well as the different societies and ethnic groups. Archeology: studies and infers the possible living manners of societies and civilizations, which have already disappeared, through the recovering and analysis of objects from material culture, known as archeological remains.

Math: studies through the use of logic and reasoning, abstract matters such as numbers, geometric figures and operational relations to connect logic concepts.
