Hardly a pure science, history is closer to animal husbandry than it is to mathematics in that it involves selective breeding. The principal difference between the husbandryman and the historian is that the former breeds sheep or cows or such and the latter breeds (assumed) facts. The husbandryman uses his skills to enrich the future, the historian uses his to enrich the past. Both are usually up to their ankles in bullshit.

I know that man started animal husbandry thousands of years ago, and I think it's disgusting. Men and animals should never be allowed to marry. Or have sex. And maybe not even engage in necking, unless it's a man and a giraffe.

Liir didn't know what to say to that; he wasn't sure what husbandry was.
"Animal husbandry," Trism explained, though in the noise of the bar, Liir couldn't tell if he said Animal or animal, the sentient or the nonsentient creature.
"Training for military uses," said Trism at last. "Are you slow, or are you falling in love with me?"
