Sociology involves studying modern societies. Anthropology is another; it is usually the study of "primitive" tribes.

Sociology and Anthropology are both very broad subjects. Sociology pertains to the study of of social activity. The behaviors of a specific group of people, be it a small group within a company (or school cliques as an example) all the way to how the people of a country will behave under specific social constructs.

Anthropology is actually VERY broad. It has several different branches that include archeology, linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology and biological anthropology. Within anthropology you can pretty much study anything to do with humans. How we adapt to our environment, the development and usage of language, the role of customs in culture. An example of anthropology that most people are aware of is Egyptology. Anthropology covers all the way from 'caveman days' all the way to modern societies of every size and description. From primitive tribes all the way to countries such as Japan or the US. If you've ever seen Bones, that deals with forensic anthropology and forensic archeology.
