Excerpt

“Only he/she who knows the past has a future” is a proverb attributed to Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835), a great historian, scientist, and philosopher (Spier, Big history and the future of humanity, Wiley, Chichester, 2015). It appears as an ideal introduction to a chapter on the history of EBMT. The context by which HCT evolved in the middle of the last century fits with modern views on history. The novel “big history” concept attempts to integrate major events in the past, beginning with the “big bang” up to today’s industrial revolution number IV (Spier, Big history and the future of humanity, Wiley, Chichester, 2015). According to this model, nothing “just happens.” Progress occurs when the conditions fit, at the right time and at the right place.
