-</div>'''[[History]]''' is the study and interpretation of the record of people, societies and civilisations.  The term ''history'' comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]] "&#953;&#963;&#964;&#959;&#961;&#943;&#945;" ''historia'', "an account of one's inquiries," and  shares that [[etymology]] with the [[English language|English]] word '''''story'''''. The ''[[1911 Encyclopædia Britannica]]'' stated that "history in the wider sense is all that has happened, not merely all the phenomena of human life, but those of the natural world as well. It is everything that undergoes change; and as modern science has shown that there is nothing absolutely static, therefore, the whole universe, and every part of it, has its history."
