In thermodynamics, branches of human thermodynamics refers to any of the various “categorical” subfields of thermodynamics applied to the study of human existence, in one particular area, such as economics (economic thermodynamics), sociology (sociological thermodynamics), history (history thermodynamics), literature (literature thermodynamics), psychology (psychological thermodynamics), etc.

List
The number of distinct divisional "branches" of human thermodynamics, not including subset branches (of which there are at least 22+ variations), as of 2011, stands at 36+. These are listed below (as well as in the adjacent drop down menu) along with date of subject inception and central topic initiator.
