"Big History is an academic discipline which examines history from the Big Bang to the present. Big History resists specialization, and searches for universal patterns or trends. It examines long time frames using a multidisciplinary approach based on combining numerous disciplines from science and the humanities, and explores human existence in the context of this bigger picture.." (Wikipedia)

"'Big history' is a fresh approach to history, in which human history is placed against the background of a coherent overview of the entire known past, from the beginning of the universe to life on Earth today. It thus deals with the origins of the universe; the emergence and development of galaxies, including our own Milky Way; the formation of the solar system; and the emergence and development of life on Earth as part of geological and climatological change. Next, the rise of early humans is discussed, followed by an overview of human history located in this overarching context." (Spier)
