History's Ties to Archaeology, Anthropology, Geography, and Paleontology

History is related to various disciplines that study the past such as archaeology, anthropology, geography, and paleontology. Archaeology studies past cultures through artifacts and discoveries from archaeological digs. The earliest historical document in the Philippines is the Laguna Copper Plate Inscription discovered in 1986. Anthropology studies how human cultures have changed over time through artifacts like documentation of the ancient Baybayin writing system. Geography studies how human experience is shaped by space, interacting with history over time. The Philippines has rich natural resources that have influenced its history. Paleontology studies fossils providing evidence of past life, including recent discovery of a new human species, Homo luzonensis, from fossil remains in the Philippines over 50,

1. History is related to Archaeology because through archaeology, we


discover things about the past. We learn about past cultures and
societies, showing how much the world has changed over time.
Everything discovered on an archaeological dig was alive or in use a
long, long time ago. Exploring these things teaches us about the people
that came before us so many years ago. The theories that are developed
by archaeologists and historians help us to shape all of our beliefs and our
own versions of reality.

The artifacts studied by archaeologists stated that the Philippines


accidentally discovered in 1986 near the mouth of Lumbang River, the
Laguna Copper Plate Inscription or LCI is the earliest historical document
in the country and also the only pre-Spanish document discovered so far.
Now a National Cultural Treasure, the LCI measures 7 x 12 inches when
unrolled.

2. History is related to Anthropology because they are both interested in the


past. Anthropology study all aspects of different cultures, while history
study particular events or individuals without relation to culture.

Anthropology is the scientific study of the origins of humans, how we have


changed over the years, and how we relate to each other, both within
our own culture and with people from other cultures
The artifacts studied by anthropologists stated that the Philippines is
Baybayin is well known because it was carefully documented by scribes
during the colonial era. The term baybayin literally means "to spell, write,
and syllabize" in Tagalog. Baybayin was extensively documented by the
Spanish.

3. History is related to Geography because they represent two fundamental


dimensions of the same phenomenon. History views human experience
from the perspective of time, geography from the perspective of space.
These dimensions of time and space are locked in an interactive
feedback loop in which one dimension constantly affects the other.

The artifacts studied by geographists stated that the Philippines is rich in


natural resources. It has fertile, arable lands, diverse flora and fauna,
extensive coastlines, and rich mineral deposits. About 30% of the land
area of the country was determined be geologically prospective by the
Philippine Mines and Geo- Sciences Bureau.

4. History is related to Paleontology because they study both body fossils


and trace fossils. Body fossils are perhaps the most informative and
include fossils like dinosaur bones, old seashells, and other skeletons.
However, body fossils can be somewhat biased. In order to fossilize well,
an organism must usually have a hard skeleton, shell, or otherwise durable
body part. It is almost certain that many organisms existed that have
never been found fossilized because they didn't fulfill these prerequisites.
Paleontologists also study trace fossils which are evidences of an
organism’s interaction with the environment. These can include footprints
or teeth marks.

The artifacts studied by paleontologist stated that the Philippines,


researchers made a remarkable discovery of fossil bones and teeth. These
remains appear to come from a new human-like species. This human
relative, or hominid, lived at least 50,000 years ago. Scientists have just
dubbed its species Homo luzonensis (Lu-zo-NEN-sis).
