“Big History seeks to understand the integrated history of the Cosmos, Earth, Life and Humanity, using the best available empirical evidence and scholarly methods.” – International Big History Association 1
“Big History is the study the past over great spans of time so that important themes trends and developments reveal themselves in ways they otherwise wouldn’t yielding a deeper understanding of why events occurred as they did. Big History embraces all the disciplines of knowledge that humans have constructed to date and uses them and multi-disciplinary toolkit to unlock the secrets of the past.” – Professor Craig G. Benjamin, Ph.D.,2
