The modern [[social sciences]], as well as all other forms of [[knowledge]], are primarily studied and taught in universities. Not all the social sciences disciplines can trace their [[origins]] directly back to the twelfth century when universities first appeared. Many evolved indirectly from subjects taught at the original universities, such as [[law]], [[logic]], [[philosophy]], and [[medicine]]. But the university’s main role in the development of the social sciences is primarily the result of manifold [[change]]s occurring in the second half of the nineteenth century. Demographic and urban growth, industrialization, democracy, and religious pluralism provided new arenas for academic [[inquiry]] and problem-solving and produced the array of disciplines commonly united under the heading of the social sciences. [[Economics]], [[sociology]], [[anthropology]], demography, [[psychology]], city planning, and history of science came of age as autonomous university-based disciplines.
