"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history."

As one part of body, history exists in people’s lives all the time. But most of people never know why we study history. Even, I just begin to consider this question until I have seen this statement. I assent one benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that there are significantly different among people in different times. But I disagree it is the chief benefit, because there exist other vital benefits of the study of history. Moreover, leaning the differences between people of different time periods carries other equally important benefits as well.

Realizing the resemblance of different era people is very useful for people’s present or future livings. By researching the history, it is easy to find that people in one period of time have many same characters with people who lived at other time in history. Like the foundation of one house, without yesterday's history, there are no today's us. Physically speaking, people have changed slightly in thousands years. Though people in modern society do not like their ancestors who hunt the animals as their foods, both people and their ancestors have same body features. In addition, good merits such as diligent, brave and virtuous still hand down from one generation to another generation. Certainly, people’s weakness also is inherited from ancestors by the contemporary people. Because of the resemblance, people could refer to more ancestors’ experience for improve human life quality. Keeping the medical records, more diseases are prevented, and more human’s life are saved. Restrained by designed institutions, the evil behaviors are decreasing continuously.

Yet there exist other equal benefits of the study of the history. History could help us to know the society we live in; history help us find the ways to solve the current problems; history help us to know ourselves better; history teach us more knowledge how to live in this world. If we want to, we can list benefits as much as possible. All these benefits are significant for our world. Thus, it is hard to say which one is the chef benefit of the study of the history.

Furthermore, Like the benefits brought by the unchanging characters of human, it is equally beneficial to understand and appreciate significant differences between peoples of different time periods. From the study of the history, several obvious traits of human evolution are presented on the desks, such as languages, costumes, and values. Researching the reasons of changes, more valuable rules and information could be discovered, which will help human make a further progress. For instance, women have more rights than the past. It reflects intelligence begin to become more important than strength in human society. Because historians believe in ancient time, men who have bigger muscles than women bear more burdens in society. But, now the times has changed. Bigger muscles cannot play a vital role in living in the world. Thus, women retake the rights which should belong to them.

In sum, as the resemblance of different era human, the difference is another equal function of the study of the history. More important, history has brought the similar benefits in other aspects. Therefore, when we enjoy the benefit of history that is the resemblance of human in different period of time, we should know many similar intangible assets have brought forth by history.

有些比喻不太恰当。第二段结构显得松散。
另外一直不太明白，题目中的illusion是对谁说的，没研究历史的人？
