History is important, with any subject. With SEO it is important that people know how things started and how they evolved. Why? Because if you understand how algorithms have slowly evolved you can perhaps gain some insight into what will continue to change in the future. With a solid education in search you can anticipate what changes are coming. If you are hoping to be good at SEO you need to learn how to anticipate, know what to look for and how to read into what the search engines tell you.
