Which is not an accurate definition for history? a. the story of how the world has changed and how it has not changed much at all b. a narrative anchored in chronology c. a retelling of what people did in prehistoric times

The correct answer is C) a retelling of what people did in prehistoric times.

The statement that is not an accurate definition of history is “a retelling of what people did in prehistoric times.”

W.C. Sellar and R.J. Yeatman defined history in their “Manual of General History” as “the narration of events of which have happened among mankind, including an account of the rise and fall of nations, as well as other great changes which have affected the political and social condition of the Human race.”

That is why history cannot be a mere retelling of what people did in prehistoric times. History has to be documented. Historians do any kind of research in order to understand the past and to explain the present.

china unilaterally claims the entire south china sea as sovereign territory, then builds artificial islands to bolster its claim. it suddenly activates an air defense identification zone over the east china sea, and threatens to down any aircraft that does not report its position. it builds roads into indian territory, then redraws the maps to show that it is actually chinese territory. the people's republic under president xi jinping is quickly becoming the bully of asia.
