"and for reasons I’ve never understood, some folks actively dislike history." Because all too often it demonstrates to us how little we have progressed as a species even though our tools have improved massively.

This because no matter how much we try to claim otherwise, we are still apes. Our instincts today are largely the same ones that our shared ancestor with chimps and bonobos had.
