History is the study of the past, particularly the written record of the human race, but more generally including scientific and archaeological discoveries about the past. Recently, there has been an increased interest in oral history, passed down from generation to generation. Since the invention of photography, the written record has been supplemented with photographs and motion pictures of past events.
The word history derives from the Greek(historia), "a learning by inquiry" and that from(historeō), "to examine, to observe, to inquire", in turn from (histōr), "a wise man, one who knows right, a judge". Academically, history is the field of research producing a continuous narrative and a systematic analysis of past events of importance to the human race. Those who study history as a profession are called historians.[1]*
