Yes, well, things start because of a beginning. Therefore history is the beginning, and therefore how things started.
Why are you here? Because your parents ... joined, why are they here? Your grandparents joined, so on and so forth. That's biological history, but you can even go beyond that. Why did your grandparents, or great grandparents, or so on and so forth, move here? Or are you full-blooded Native American? Then, can you trace all the way back to ancestors of Aztecs or other Native cultures, and then why did they cross the land bridge? Why did they come here?
You see, there's a beginning a history that starts everything, and that's fascinating.
