Big History is a field of historical study that examines history on a large scale across long time frames through a multi-disciplinary approach and gives a focus on the alteration and adaptations in the human experience. It arose as a distinct field in the late 1980s and is related to, but distinct from, world history, as the field examines history from the beginning of time to the present day. In some respects, the field is thus similar to the older universal history.
