Particular groups and their connections to history, human geography, human ecology and relationships with the earth, physical anthropology including the dispersion, racial variation, and origins of humankiand, demography including the growth, size and structure, and mechanisms of social change, and social fundamentals will be useful in analyzing the various processes and events of history. |

This will be applicable in prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, modern history, and the future.
Particular groups will be examined in more detail as the site expands. They can be applied to prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, and modern history. There is little point in duplicating the entire list of societies here. Those that are useful in examining world history include:
Human geography is the basis for historical geography. It can be applied to prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, and modern history.
European geography can be applied to prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, and modern history. The Balkan peninsula can be applied to prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, and modern history. Northern Europe can be applied to prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval history, and modern history. The Italian peninsula can be applied to prehistory, antiquity, classical and medieval, and modern history. Iberia, Island Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia are extremely valuable.
Asian geography can be applied to classical and medieval and modern history. Southwest Asia can be applied to modern history. The Near East can be applied to history. Arabia can be applied to history. Asia Minor can be applied to history. The Transcaucasus, and Iranian highlands can be applied to history. South Asia can be applied to history. Southeast Asia can be applied to history. East Asia can be applied to history. Central Asia can be applied to history. North Asia will be valuable.
African geography can be applied to modern history. North African geography can be applied to history. Eastern African geography can be applied to history. Western Africa, North Central Africa, South Central Africa, and Southern Africa will be an important part of it.
North American geography can be applied to modern history. Northern North America can be applied to history. Middle North American geography can be applied to history. Southern North America will also be important.
South American geography can be applied to history. Oceanic geography can be applied to history.
Human ecology can be applied to prehistory, classical and medieval history, modern history, and the future.
The influence of man on the environment can be applied to modern history. Relationships with other life can be applied to modern history. Environmental effects on man can be connected to history.
Physical anthropology can be connected to classical and medieval and modern history.
Human dispersion can be applied to modern history. Racial variation can be connected to history. Human origins can perhaps be applied to modern history.
Demography can be connected to modern history.
Population change is potentially a useful tool in some historical studies. Population structure is important to history. Total world population has reached approximately 6.7 billion people (as of Sept 2007). Morbidity and mortality can be applied to history. Migration can be applied to history. Birth and fertility can be applied to history.
The development of social foundations may be useful in sufficiently detailed analysis of history, particularly modern history. Social group behavior can be connected to history. Social group types can be applied to history. Social control can be applied to history. Social interaction can be examined and possibly applied to history. Social presentation is at a very basic level and can be applied to history.
