Tener evidencia del pasado es esencial para preservar la cultura humana. La evidencia del pasado puede ser guardada en formato digital o en formato análogo; mediante fotografía o árboles genealógicos. Sin embargo, estas herramientas suelen ser poco útiles si queremos explorar nuestra historia hace siglos o milenios atrás.
