From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. —George Santayana Historia (Allegory of History) By Nikolaos Gysis (1892) The Historian By E. Irving Couse (1902)History (from Greek ἱστορία - historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the human past. Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present. The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history. Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory. From Wikipedia under the

I have a very important history exam in june where will be questions from all the history from ancient times to nowadays. I know something, but not enough. I have to learn a lot, but I don't know where to start. Do you know any tips, or any good sites that have the history resumed? I mean not like in Wikipedia, because it's too much information there.I want to know only the most important dates and events. I have to learn universal history and romanian history. Thanks. Asked by Daniela - Wed Jan 21 11:58:41 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Get a copy of H.G. Wells, "A Short History of the World". It's about 320 pages, but it is divided so that you can look at only what you need. The book is from 1922, so it doesn't cover events after that time. This can generally be found in any library. Google Books has a copy online, but I can't guarantee that you'll get access to all pages. Answered by bloggersvilleusa - Wed Jan 21 12:20:36 2009 What is history? I have written a thesis statement of this question for my ap class. Is it a good statement? Q. "What is history? Can history be changed? Is there a difference between history and the past? How do you learn about history? What makes something a good piece of history? What role does a bias play in recording of the past?' That is the topic I am writing the essay on. It doesnt have to be long but I need to touch ever subject. Would a good thesis statement be the definition of history? Or something else. And should I just write a paragraph answering each question? Asked by Britneee - Tue Aug 25 20:11:06 2009 - - 1 Answers - 4 Comments A. I'm confused as to what the question really is and what your thesis statement is...please clarify and I can help as I teach history at a local university.

If so what terms should I use to search with to learn more about it? 10 points best answer. Yeah I have heard about the piramids and the large house like structures but I can't remember where in North America it was. Asked by jack - Thu Jan 10 03:43:10 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. There was no Bronze Age or Medieval period in north America. The natives went straight from a stone age culture to the modern period. Bronze age, Iron Age, Roman, Saxon and Viking, Medieval are all periods of European history and can not be applied to the Americas. The fact is that although the whole of North and South America retained neolithic culture until white contact, certain native cultures also evolved rudimentary metalworking techniques. This ranged from the very crude use of native copper in the Great Lakes and Central America regions to casting gold and other metals in central and South America. This is still part of a Stone Age technology, however. Answered by Brother Ranulf - Thu Jan 10 04:42:47 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "history" History is the study of human behavior through time.
