Homo sapiens have been flourishing in society since the Ice Age. We are
the building blocks of previous centuries. The academics of that era were
innovative and created scientific inventions.
In the upcoming centuries, humans continuously tweaked the work of the
past. It was a slow build. It is miraculous, and these scientific inventions
advanced civilization. It is these contributions that enabled humans to develop
the industrialization era. The astronomical growth in human cognition has been
the driving factor in these monumental changes in our civilization. It has
contributed astronomically to our longevity. It is the desire to hold onto
ancient cultural traditions. It is fervent among
the ethnic groups that used to practice them. Modern civilizations have
an overlapping theme to the lifestyle that once existed during the prehistoric
empires. It is my opinion that the differences outweigh the similarities. The
cultural shift has put our human adaptability in question. Society remains in a
continuous pull-push loop. It is advancing at an obscenely fast pace. It is a
struggle to adapt to these changes. It remains a hurdle. It is a dilemma
society must work to overcome, course-correcting the creature of habit! Those with difficulty adapting to change can
revert backward. Creative art course
corrects this. It received countless outcries from the public when those in the creative arts pushed the limits of
social acceptability. The research paper discusses how humans have
adapted since the Ice Age and continuously built on prehistoric empires through
uniquely thought-out innovations. That has
enabled us to advance into a species that has completely alternated throughout the centuries. We are experiencing
a continuation of evolution. It is occurring at the fastest pace it has
ever happened in history.
