Questions: Evolutionary theory continues to influence contemporary sociologists, especially who study the behavioral links between humans and animals. political sociologists sociobiologists social historians psychologists

The answer is sociobiologists.

Political sociologists focus on the study of power, politics, and the state, and how these elements interact with society. They are not primarily concerned with the links between humans and animals.

Sociobiologists study the biological basis of all forms of social behavior in both humans and animals. They explore how evolutionary theory can explain social behaviors, making them the most relevant group in the context of studying behavioral links between humans and animals.

Social historians examine past societies and their social structures, focusing on how societies have changed over time. They do not primarily focus on the biological links between humans and animals.

Psychologists study the mind and behavior, often focusing on individual or group behavior. While some psychologists may study human-animal interactions, it is not their primary focus in the context of evolutionary theory.
