Humanity according to NLM

In the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), we have a basic controlled vocabulary hierarchy structure that is painfully boring and has over 24,000 terms.

Anthropology, Education, Sociology and Social Phenomena (I) caught my eye as being somewhat more interesting to browse through, and under that we have Social Sciences, Education & Human Activities.

Any guesses how your human activities categories are classified as far as NLM descriptors goes?

I would guess ADLs (that first one on the list), the same activities that are used by many to determine whether someone is disabled (what activities can't they do) and, if I recall correctly, rank the severity of the disability.
