Historians use sources and knowledge to reconstruct the history of human existence while human scientists study human behavior and the lifestyle we live. They focus on these areas and provide information to each other. However, a historian will also look into the future and predict using his knowledge of the past. Similarly, a human scientist could observe human behavior today and compare it to the past. When we look at human science, historians find it a useful term for science with the word "human" as the subject (Smith). This opens up research possibilities for the historian and therefore history can be considered a "human science" (Smith). The main difference between history and human science is how the scientist uses tools while the historian uses facts and figures. Feyerabend explains that an allegory presented by the human scientist depends on selfishness, ideals, and the perspective of other forms of knowledge and is not shrouded in method, evidence, reason, or argument (Anderson 259). There is a lot of debate about whether the social sciences are actually a science. JSMill believes that while we can justify and discover unpretentious regularities in the physical world, we can also explore connections between actions and thoughts through Mill's Method of Causation (Salmon). This allows us to interpret change in human behavior over a period of time. Human science can become exact to physical science since human behavior can cause unknowable circumstances (Salmon). Historians look at both sides of the event gaining an understanding of the causes or factors leading to the event itself. Historians must therefore produce questions to study past events (Dunn).
