Do you mean to study or to guide your life? Do soft sciences count?

Study, enjoy, whatever. Soft science is fine.

Both, I guess. Though history is more fun to read about, I do enjoy reading about astronomy and neuroscience.

I like science but I recognize the importance of studying history as to recognize possible patterns in the future.

Being in engineering and enjoying my job, I guess I can't say I don't like science. But I also enjoy history. I'm of the school "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I prefer the practical sciences but still enjoy the soft & theoretical. Physics, matrials, psyhcology and political would probably be the ones that I deal with most.

I find most history fascinating I like knowing what events shaped the world that I now live in.

If I had to choose one I'd choose science but I don't think that you can have science without history.

History. I've just spend much more of my time doing that type of stuff, though I am interested in the recent literature on science studies from anthropologists.

Depends on the science, but I've found history to be more educational. At least for me.
