History explores the human past in all its complexity: populations, economies, political systems, religions, ideologies, the arts… It draws on the humanities for the questions and methods that enable us to grasp correlations, identify origins—in short, to understand the human experience. History also looks toward the future! To prepare for the future, you act today based on your knowledge of the past!
