Sure, I guess, it's anthropology right?

I would consider it biology and/or archeology, since early human evolution predates recorded history, therefore making it difficult to study history beyond theorizing when and how evolutionary advancements occurred.

me bottom right

NO HISTORY IS PER DEFINITION FROM WRITTEN RECORDS UNTIL NOW SO HISTORY BEGINS ~5K BC IN MESOPOTAMIA WHERE WRITING IS FIRST DISCOVERED PRE-HISTORY IS EVERYTHING BEFORE THAT

Well since biology gets bullied off /sci/ I'd be kinda happy to see these sort of threads here

>>909891
Why is it bullied away form /sci/ though? :(

Sure, but the sticky also says anthropology and at least in large swaths of Universities in the US bioanthropology's under that header, which includes primatology and the evolutionary biology of hominids.

Yeah it's nice it's just a shame there's little chatter these days save taxonomic autism, which I guess needs hammered out to do anything else of merit but goddamn.

Bump for interest

History begins with the founding of the first civilization. The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth

No, for it to be history it specifically has to have written sources. It's archaeology and anthropology
