The longer the answer the better! (These were the questions my teacher gave me to ask).
Try to pretend there is no god.... and go from there. Test you "make believe" ability.
How would you answer them, then?
I'll answer myself... even though I didn't read any of the others' replies... just to leave me unbiased...

But a "why" question is just fallacious in this subject.

On those occasions where it doesn't apply, go with the flow, or the law of the land.
Sometimes, you just have to pick the least of two (or more) wrongs... just look at voting in politicians!!

Meaning of human history??
??
history: past events
human: homo sapiens
meaning: reason of being, purpose
The purpose of human past events? I guess, it depends on the events themselves... Case by case.
On the whole, there's no meaning that I can see... maybe there are some lessons to be learned... some things we would rather had never happened...
