    Forum History
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around whether the forum is appropriate for conversations about history. It is noted that history is categorized as a social science, suggesting that discussions may be better suited for a different forum focused specifically on social sciences. However, there is acknowledgment of the overlap between Earth history and human history, particularly in relation to early civilizations like the Egyptians and Mediterranean cultures, which have been influenced by various Earthly phenomena.

Seems that behavior has not ceased.
