About History & Herstory
History
History is the study of the past, particularly the written record of the human race, but more generally including scientific and archaeological discoveries about the past. Recently, there has been an increased interest in oral histories and traditions, passed down from generation to generation verbally. New technology, such as photography, sound recording, and motion pictures, now complement the written word in the historical record.Academically, history is the field of research producing a continuous narrative and a systematic analysis of past events of importance to the human race. Those who study history as a profession are called historians

Mission Statement:
If we don't change our direction we're likely to end up where we're headed. This is an old proverb from the annals of history. History does not repeat itself. Ignorant people repeat history. If we do not learn from history we are condemned to repeat it. One who controls the past controls the future. May we not repeat the mistakes of the past.History reveals the thinking of our ancestors and teaches us the universal principles our founding fathers and mothers knew so well. History is written by the victors in war, biased and prejudiced. History is rewritten with each successive generation by those in power. Both sides of the story must be taken into account, the written and the unwritten story.
His-tory and "Her-story" is respecting the story of what came before us, a tribute to our great grandfathers and great-grandmothers, our parents, our nation's founders, men and women of wisdom who have passed their wisdom down through the ages.
Let us learn from the past, so as to not repeat the mistakes of history...war, racism, injustice, disease and unnecessary suffering. Our stories teach us to honor and respect all the traditions of all the nations of people throughout time, to appreciate the evolutionary path of humanity along this road.

Waking Giant News
Thank God for Evolution by Michael Dowd | Plume Paperback
What follows is the new preface...
As we observe the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of his landmark book, On the Origin of Species, evolution has become firmly established as the central organizing principle of the biological sciences. Natural explanations for the growth of complexity through time ground all the other sciences, as well, from cosmology and chemistry to neuroscience and psychology. That everything within this universe has emerged through natural processes operating over vast spans of time is now well beyond dispute among scientists and the educated public. Yet even today, families and public school systems remain divided and the evolutionary worldview is still shunned by millions, perhaps billions, of religious believers around the world. Why?
