History vs. Pre-history

It strikes me that the first statement of this article:

"Little is clearly understood about the early history of the Marshall Islands."

...is in need of being scrubbed for logic. 'History' is, by definition, what has been recorded. The part of the '-story' of these people that has not been passed down is, by definition, their pre-history. Prehistoric. The opening line of the article is as silly as saying:

"We do not have the history of prehistoric Marshall Islands."

It is a trivially true statement that would apply to any culture anywhere. You go back early enough, and we can only guess what happened. I am suggesting the elimination of that entire statement.--ChrisfromHouston (talk) 05:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
