Yes, because science is part of the humanities.

I always considered humanities to be arts, history to be social science. You can discuss the humanities in a historical context of course and I think that may have been an intention behind this board, but as it is now it's overbroad.

the dichotomy is flawed from the very beginning and creates a ghetto of knowledge that's "unapplicable"

I find it hard to apply advanced mathematics but nobody would dare to call it "humanities"

I don't think you can perform controlled experiments in History.

Depending on the methodologies used, history can either be a art ("humanity") or a social science.

You can. You're just unlikely to get ethics approval.
