Source-derived summary

The Natural History was The Natural History's first recording with Startime International on April 6–7, 2002, which was released later that year.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “The Natural History (EP)” as extended play by The Natural History. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Natural, History and extended.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2002—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2002. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Natural, History and extended providing the first useful test.
