Abstract
Communication and collaboration between social sciences and evolutionary anthropological research are hampered by several barriers to understanding. In this essay, we systematically identify and classify some of the most important problems and analyze them regarding the following questions: Where do mere misconceptions or ideological distrust stand in the way of a convergence between social sciences and evolutionary anthropology? Where are there different methodological approaches or fundamental paradigmatic convictions? And finally, how can these obstacles to an interdisciplinary theoretical integration be overcome?
