大历史（Big History）是一个新兴学术领域，探索从 宇宙大爆炸 到现代的历史 。 它通过包括科学、人文、等，多种学科的跨学科方法来检视长远的时间框架， [1][2][3][4]并在更大的背景之下探讨人类存在的意义。[5]它整合宇宙、地球、生命和人类的研究，使用经验，证据来探索因果关系，[6][7]它被讲授于大学[8]和中学[9] 经常使用基于网络的互动式专题来介绍。[10]此运动涉及澳大利亚麦考瑞大学之历史学家大卫·克利斯汀，他创造了"大的历史"这个词，[11][12][13]并且是由一个"学者的不寻常联盟"所成就。 一个“大历史”的早期例子发现于约翰·肯尼迪在莱斯大学的着名演讲，他将50,000年的人类历史浓缩为半个世纪来讲解。一些历史学家表示对"科学历史"表示怀疑，并认为“大历史”之宣称没有独创性。[14]
