The main benefit of the study of history is to dispel the illusion that people living now are significantly different from people who lived in earlier times.

From the dawn of human life, mankind is continuously evolving physically and mentally. The topic raises a controversial issue that whether the main advantage from learning history is to remove the thinking that people are different in earlier times or not. Indisputably, some characters and habits are genetically adopted by people from their ancestors. Nevertheless, human have evolved a lot with respect to ancient times. Thus, it is insignificant to compare people who are living now with the humans of ancient times.

First of all, humans are the only people in the world who has the capability to think and then decide what to do. Due to their thinking, they are continuously evolving themselves in every aspect of life. For example, people of Great Britain would like to wear formal clothing in their earlier times. But now a days, they are more interested in adopting casual clothing. Furthermore, ancient people are the people who always keep their word whatever they say, but now instead, people are much involved in fake promises which they would never been able to kept. Thus there is a huge difference in lifestyle of people in earlier times with respect to current world with respect to thinking.

History is the only subject which taught us about the ancient people and their lives. When we compare their lifestyle with ours, they were far more different from people living now. People now a days are much more dependent on technology apart from earlier times. Technology has changed the view people use to think and live their life. For instance, earlier people of 19th century would like to spend their time in listening music from radio, but now a days, people have ipods and smartphones with great noise cancellation power. There are numerous aspects in which people differ from earlier times. All those lifestyle and cultures were only known by knowing their history.

In conclusion, although there are other sources from which we get to know about the earlier times like the stories from our ancestors about lifestyle of people living in earlier days, history taught us most about the lifestyle of people and how they've evolved from generation to generation. Furthermore, there are numerous advantages of knowing the history like it gives us the general idea about the nation, its culture and various languages used in that nation, however, the main advantage of it is to teach us significantly about the ancient lives of people so that we can compare the evolution of humans.
