ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Human history

Human history is the story of things that have happened to people over time. It includes all the things that people have made and done, how they lived their lives, and their relationships with each other and with their environment. It covers events from hundreds or even thousands of years ago, right up to the present. People who study human history try to learn and understand the past, to figure out why events happened the way they did, and what it means for us today.
