The risk of history

History is our human destiny.
Wars are fought as people squabble over interpretation of history.
Histories are heatedly debated in every political forum across the planet.
And one must ask why?

The answer is simple:
We survive because our ancestors re-told the history given to them and that’s why we know how to grow food.
That’s why we know what to eat and how to protect ourselves and what to expect from our environment.

All advances in science, technology, agriculture, and law stem from reading or listening to history, and without this mechanism, each civilization faces a harsh planet, like a new-born child with survival a daily questionable event.

History is needed for survival, and it carries the code that people believe will lead their families to the best possible outcome.
