This document defines history as the study of the past based on written records of human events over time. It notes that history began being documented in writing around 3500 BCE. Studying history helps people understand how the world evolved, avoid repeating mistakes, and gain knowledge about historical figures and events. The first person to perform systematic investigation of historical events was Herodotus in the 5th century BCE, making him the father of history. Historians and scientists from various fields, such as archaeologists and anthropologists, contribute to writing history.
