What's the difference between Sociology and Anthropology?

I have been wondering this for a while.

Anthropology is more respected

I think antropology has been around for much longer, and is closely connected with archeaology

Anthropology is more respected

is it still around in the academic world? i.e. could one study it if they so wished? Don't recall seeing it in any prospectuses I looked at

I was referring generally.

e.g.) An anthropologist may be favoured to a sociologist in the loose sense of the word (favoured as in "their subject area is seen as more advanced")

I was merely asking as its an intersting subject - we study dribs and drabs in psych and crim, but would be interested in looking more into the subject.

Traditionally, anthropologists have focused on the study of tribal peoples and gathered information predominantly through field research, participant observation, and other qualitative methods.

Likewise, sociologists emphasized the study of industrial societies and tended to use more quantitative methods like surveys and questionnaires.

However, these distinctions between the two disciplines have become blurred over the last few decades. More and more anthropologists study urban life in Western societies and increasing numbers of sociologists focus on peasant or tribal societies. Contemporary scholars from either discipline often use the theories and the methods of the other.
