    Okay, on a slight tangent but I was wondering what the difference between social ecology and human ecology is. I hear a lot about social ecology in these circles and a lot about human ecology in different circles. I’m assuming they’re related, but are they interchangeable?

      So there’s the academic study of social ecology which is related to human ecology, the latter being a broader area of study. There’s also social ecology, a philosophical theory developed by Murray Bookchin. He’s a prolific social libertarian who developed the ideology of communalism after a falling out with anarchists over how decision making would be handled in a post-state society. I’m kind of steering away from your question at this point but I’d be happy to continue (to the best of my ability, I’m still learning) if you have any more questions
