Annales School
The Annales School, which was formed in the years between the world wars, came into opposition to these critiques of biohistorical research. The idea behind the Annales School was to write a total history which utilized various scientific studies such as geography. Fernand Braudel (August 24, 1902 – November 27, 1985), a student of founder Lucien Febvre (July 22, 1878 – September 11, 1956), believed that in the study of history, one must remember to consider "humans as living organisms and to not lose sight of the ‘biological reality of man."
