What is History?
History is the story of how humans evolved on this planet and then spread to almost every corner of it, developing a wide range of groups and societies. Over thousands of years, these groups have grown, shrunk, and disappeared completely, or they have come into contact with one another, sometimes violently and with disastrous consequences.
As a result, we often only get to know about one side of history—the side written by the winners. Uncovering the story of those who have been defeated usually takes a lot of painstaking research by archaeologists and historians, but it is the only way to get both sides of the story, and understand our world.
