Humanities are classes like: English, philosophy, art history, religious studies, etc. Paleo-sciences will either be considered a social science (as a branch of anthropology) or a natural science depending upon your particular university. So, in short, a degree in Liberal Arts will enable you to study history, literature, arts, and paleo-sciences. A degree in the humanities will probably not allow history (though some schools may consider that to be a humanity) or paleo-sciences.<br><b>References : </b><br> Liberal arts includes humanities, creative and performing arts, social sciences and (generally, though not officially at some university) natural sciences.
