What is history anyway? To the first written sources? Most people would say it's what happened in the past, but how far back does the past extend?
What does that term mean--an empire, a nation, a city, a village, a family, a lonely hermit somewhere? To what other forms of evidence reveal about pre-literate civilizations? Why stop with people: shouldn't history also comprise the environment in which they exist, and if so on what scale and how far back?
And as long as we're headed in that direction, why stop with the earth and the solar system? Why not go all the way back to the Big Bang itself?There's obviously no consensus on how to answer these questions, but even asking them raises another set of questions about history: who should be doing it? Traditionally trained historians, for whom archives are the only significant source?
