what is pseudoscience history?

 

You mean the history of pseudoscience?

 

Pseudo means "fake". Pseudoscience mean a set of beliefs or theories presented as scientific, that in fact fail to be scientific. Spotting pseudoscience can be difficult. The best way to spot it is to be knowledgeable in fields that that pseudoscience addresses.

 

As for the history and famous examples I don't know. Apart from the obvious astrology.

 

According to Wiki an early use of the word was by French physiologist François Magendie in 1843.
