ABSTRACT
Little big histories are studies that connect a specific subject to all the major phases of big history. Many phenomena that exist on Earth or that know have existed in the past are many things at once. They are many things at once because they are complex, because they are part of something complex or because they are both. Little big histories are relatively new to this interdisciplinary scene. This is not surprising, since they are based big history, which itself is a relatively new field. Even though it has existed in its academic form since the 1980s, up to the beginning of the twenty-first century, only a handful of people worked in it. The parts of the history of the inanimate, biological and cultural world that have been surveyed so far tell that build with bricks because doing so can be relatively cheap.
