This statement refers to the fact that as a formally defined field psychology has existed for a relatively short period of time, approximately 100 years. However, the questions that psychology tries to investigate (Why do people do what they do? How do we learn? How do we think?) have been posed and investigated for a very long time, basically since humans evolved to become capable of abstract thought and could wonder about themselves. These questions, at various periods of time have been investigated by philosophers, clergy, biologists, seers and artists.
