No, if there's one social science we should have picked, it's anthropology I tell you.
This is all psychology research (which presumably you know). (I definitely do as I have a PhD in it).

I actually agree with this, will update my rant to include this next time.
Will do better when I reply to your anthropology-fueled rant.
To be fair, this is more a function of psychology having a lot of experimental studies (as you can normally run them on individuals) which tend to get lots of press, and they're badly conducted because most psychologists suck at stats (and the incentives are towards publishing or perishing). That being said, it's really good that we now know lots of them were garbage and is a sign of decent science being done.
Sociology OTOH (rather like economics) typically deals with observational data which is less flashy and prone to all kinds of errors that make it harder to figure out what a replication would even look like (we can't generate another 100 countries to test, unfortunately).
