Speculating and tracing different ideas about human behavior and nature is not recent its been here for a long time back to the 5th century BC, when many philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, and many other were grappling the problems that are the issues the psychologist are concern for, in modern days.

One can not say how old this discipline of psychology is but it is evident that begins approximately 200 years ago in and should be considered as the product of both nineteenth and twentieth century thought. It is emerged from the philosophy in back of the nineteenth century.
