History is the study of written records. Paleontology, geology, planetary science, astronomy and cosmology also study the past. Are astrophysicists historians? Serendi pod ous 20:08, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Certainly, the vast majority of historians study human activity since the introduction of writing. That is and should be, the main focus of this page. But history is not limited to what historians do, any more that mathematics is limited to what mathematicians do. Rick Norwood ( talk) 10:53, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
