History gives us a sense of the origin and the developmental course of the discipline. With its roots in the ancient-old philosophy and hard sciences like biology and physics, scientific psychology emerged in the 19th century Germany. History also tells us what changes have happened in the past, why the changes, and what the consequences, helping us understand where contemporary psychology has come from.
