Visualizing Human History to Contribute to a Peaceful Future
Human Histories, a certified non-profit organization, is dedicated to making the vast and complex history of humankind accessible and understandable across languages.
Wars and disasters, inventions and exchanges, the evolution of ideas and cultures—human history is immense. Our mission is to organize these events along the axes of time, place, and causality, enabling everyone to learn intuitively, reflect critically, and take meaningful action.
