History and GeographyThe word "history" comes from the Latin historia, which in turn is from the greek ἱστορία (historìa), which means "knowledge acquired through research." It is with this sense that Aristotle used the term in its Περί Τά Ζωα Ιστορία (Peri Ta Zoa Istória) or, as in Latin, Historia Animalium. Today, we more properly distinguish between history and historiography:
The word "geography" also derives from the Latin Geographia, in turn coming from the ancient Greek γη/γέα (ghe / ghea = Earth) and γράφειν (gràfein = to write), literally, writing about the earth, is the science which studies, interprets , describes and represents the Earth in terms of physical and human aspects, that is in the space of his body surface. Although separate sciences, history and geography are in fact interrelated: the historical evolution of society and civilization went hand in hand with the knowledge and discovery (e.g. the discovery of America). Just as the human aspects studied by geography, for example, are affected by the events of history. For this reason the two disciplines are considered together in our area subject. |
