It was from Anglo-Norman that history was borrowed into Middle English, and this time the loan stuck. 1265), narrative of real or imaginary events, story ( c. 1240), body of knowledge relative to human evolution, science ( c. Meanwhile, as Latin became Old French (and Anglo-Norman), historia developed into forms such as istorie, estoire, and historie, with new developments in the meaning: "account of the events of a person's life (beginning of the 12th century), chronicle, account of events as relevant to a group of people or people in general (1155), dramatic or pictorial representation of historical events ( c. History was borrowed from Latin (possibly via Old Irish or Old Welsh) into Old English as stær ("history, narrative, story"), but this word fell out of use in the late Old English period. The Greek word was borrowed into Classical Latin as historia, meaning "investigation, inquiry, research, account, description, written account of past events, writing of history, historical narrative, recorded knowledge of past events, story, narrative". The ancestor word ἵστωρ is attested early on in Homeric Hymns, Heraclitus, the Athenian ephebes' oath, and in Boeotic inscriptions (in a legal sense, either "judge" or "witness", or similar). It was in that sense that Aristotle used the word in his History of Animals. The word history comes from historía ( Ancient Greek: ἱστορία, romanized: historíā, lit.'inquiry, knowledge from inquiry, or judge' ).
In East Asia, a state chronicle, the Spring and Autumn Annals, was reputed to date from as early as 722 BC, although only 2nd-century BC texts have survived. Their works continue to be read today, and the gap between the culture-focused Herodotus and the military-focused Thucydides remains a point of contention or approach in modern historical writing. Along with his contemporary Thucydides, he helped form the foundations for the modern study of past events and societies. Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian, is often considered the "father of history" (as he was one of the first historians) in the Western tradition, although he has also been criticized as the "father of lies".
History is often taught as a part of primary and secondary education, and the academic study of history is a major discipline in university studies. The modern study of history is wide-ranging, and includes the study of specific regions and the study of certain topical or thematic elements of historical investigation. However, ancient cultural influences have helped spawn variant interpretations of the nature of history which have evolved over the centuries and continue to change today. History differs from myth in that it is supported by verifiable evidence. Stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the tales surrounding King Arthur), are usually classified as cultural heritage or legends. Historians also debate the nature of history as an end in itself, as well as its usefulness to give perspective on the problems of the present. Historians often debate which narrative best explains an event, as well as the significance of different causes and effects. History is also an academic discipline which uses narrative to describe, examine, question, and analyze past events, and investigate their patterns of cause and effect. History is not complete and still has debatable mysteries.
Historians seek knowledge of the past using historical sources such as written documents, oral accounts, art and material artifacts, and ecological markers. "History" is an umbrella term comprising past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of these events. The time period of events before the invention of writing systems is considered prehistory. History (derived from Ancient Greek ἱστορία ( historía) 'inquiry knowledge acquired by investigation') is the systematic study and documentation of human activity. 425 BC), often considered the "father of history" in the Western world
