When we speak of the history of an object, we want to indicate that it is one and the same object that has this history. In order to speak of the numerical identity of an object throughout time, we need two things: (1) we have to know its movement through space; (2) we have to be able to tell a causal story about the object; to specify to which causal influences the object has been exposed, and how it has changed because of this exposure.
