History is the study of past events and people through analyzing sources and evidence. Primary sources are original documents or artifacts from the time period being studied, while secondary sources are later accounts of events written by historians. When studying history, it is important to avoid anachronisms, which are inaccuracies such as assuming people in the past thought the same way as people today.
