Abstract
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 innova tive and created scientific inventions. In the upcoming centuries, human s 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 hab it! Those with difficulty adapting to change can revert backward. Creative a rt course corrects this. It received countless outcries from the public when th ose 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 innovatio ns. That has enabled us to advance into a species that has completely alter nated throughout the centuries. We are experiencing a continuation o f evolution. It is occurring at the fastest pace it has ever happened in history.
