In the age of disinformation and misinformation, the public from all backgrounds should understand the basic history of the events that shaped our traits, culture, politics, religion and humanity. Anthropological and archaeological studies proved that human endeavour to survive another day made us who we are. In living another day, humans invented survival tools, discovered various traits and behaviours, and improved those inventions for individual, community, and broader gains. Our ancestors passed those inventions and discoveries through their behaviour, ideas, civic conduct, and writings to the next generations.

Despite the vastness of historical events in anthropological, archaeological, and writing history, contemporary world citizens must be equipped with basic historical knowledge; hence, misinformation is spreading like wildfire in the internet era. Historical knowledge without historical education should become more widely available in the public sphere through seminars, the internet, public broadcasts, articles, museums, podcasts, and educational and religious institutions; public history should be a quintessential part of the measures to counter misinformation and disinformation.

The late eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries have been paradigm shifts in our history. Secularists and political activists demanded change in civic and political structure and how society and patriarchy see or regulate civic duty based on race, gender, and religion. This entailed changes in social, religious, and political systems that were more cohesive and inclusive. However, those social emancipation and enlightenment issues concerned the society's upper strata, and the ordinary citizens were not illuminated with the positive features of these changes. Those rapid changes are spreading confusion and hesitation among the public. Social transformation went ahead with educating the public; hence, those transformations are confusing, causing misinformation and polarisation in society. It is crucial that before a dominant policy change, which brings social transformation and replaces a dominant notion of the religious, cultural and political worldview, it should be debated and discussed in public institutions to illuminate the general public to avoid misunderstanding in a democratic system.

World history is our collective evolutionary data about our past and includes all human beings and earth resources. Knowledge of the past has contributed human to develop skills and techniques to master this planet and help to become resilient against nature, and discovered, invented, and innovated civic structure and technology to comfort, manage and endure. All humans share the world and its history- Kenny asserted, "Recent genetic studies demonstrate that all mitochondria within human cells descend from a single woman".[1] Every community, country, region, language, and religion has its unique history on a macro scale. However, those macro events together consist of world history for all humankind. We are not detached from each other; rather we are strongly interconnected through our ancestral roots and descended from a single-family. Migration shaped who we are and where we live; the ancestral origin is still the same- descended from a single mother. With this truth, knowledge of history can empower us to find more common ground on race, gender, ethnicity and our evolution as a species.
