This statement suggests that the concept of exploring the human psyche has been around for a very long time. For example, Aristotle and Plato made speculations about the mind. But when we talk about psychology as a proper, organized field of study with its own set of principles, it has a short story. It really started to take shape in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the establishment of laboratories and the development of scientific approaches to study mental processes and behavior.

It means that psychology has a long history of being studied in some form, like philosophers thinking about the mind long ago. But as a modern, scientific discipline, it's relatively new. So, while the roots are deep, the formal, scientific story of psychology is short.
