Within the next twenty years, it will become common in schools throughout the world to include one or two courses in some form of "big history": syllabi that link all disciplines into a coherent, science-based account of how everything came to be as it is. That will be vital in the world of the Anthropocene to help students link insights from many different disciplines in the sciences and humanities, as they take on the huge challenge of managing an entire planet.
