Talk:Deep History

Deep history is not at all "Big history." They are two entirely different perspectives of historical investigation and perception. Stevenmitchell (talk) 02:39, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Evidence for this? My sense is that Big history and Deep history are more alike than different because they both (1) emphasize long long time frames (2) combine intellectual disciplines such as anthropology and biology with history (3) emphasize big recurring patterns rather than individual actors (kings, social movements etc). But there are two different terms, obviously. For now, I'll somewhat agree to let there be two separate articles here while thinking that more sources are needed. But my long term recommendation is that these two articles, Deep history and Big history, are essentially the same subject, and that Deep history should be merged into Big history.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 13:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
