随着研究过去的古科学方法的蓬勃发展，历史学家们面临着大量关于人类和自然现象的新证据，从人类疾病和迁徙到景观变化和气候。这些新数据要求我们重写对过去的叙述，质疑什么是权威的历史来源，以及谁有资格向当代社会讲述历史。以人文为基础的历史研究必须接受这种新的证据，但要做到这一点，历史学家需要批判性地对待它，就像他们对待文本和材料来源一样。本文强调了最重要的方法论问题，从新证据的时空尺度和异质性到定量方法的新作用和科学数据在叙事构建中的地位。它考虑了古科学已经“侵入”到以前为历史学家保留的领域和科目的研究领域，特别是社会经济、气候和环境史。作者认为，如果历史学家想要为我们对人类世挑战的不断发展的理解做出贡献，就迫切需要积极参与新的方法。
With the efflorescence of palaeoscientific approaches to the past, historians have been confronted with a wealth of new evidence on both human and natural phenomena, from human disease and migration to landscape change and climate. These new data require a rewriting of our narratives of the past, questioning what constitutes an authoritative historical source and who is entitled to recount history to contemporary societies. Humanities-based historical inquiry must embrace this new evidence, but to do so historians need to engage with it critically, just as they do with textual and material sources. This article highlights the most vital methodological issues, ranging from the spatiotemporal scales and heterogeneity of the new evidence to the new roles attributed to quantitative methods and the place of scientific data in narrative construction. It considers areas of study where the palaeosciences have “intruded” into fields and subjects previously reserved for historians, especially socioeconomic, climate, and environmental history. The authors argue that active engagement with new approaches is urgently needed if historians want to contribute to our evolving understanding of the challenges of the Anthropocene.
