How Far Has Human Life Evolved Over Time?

In the beginning, human life was still moving (nomadic). However, as time went on, they began to live sedentarily in a place by building their dwellings. Human development can be seen from various fields, such as how to sustain life, how to survive both from nature and other living things, the development of scientific knowledge, and so on.

The historical period of human civilization is divided into several periods, including:

-  Praakssara period

-  Period of Ancient History

- Medieval

- Early Modern Age

- Modern era

- Post-Modern Age

- Millennium Era (Today)

In each of these periods, the way each civilization at that time lived their lives were different. This is based on differences in scientific progress and human mindsets in each historical period. The early human period began with humans who did not recognize writing (the pre-script period) so it continued to develop until human civilization progressed after the introduction/discovery of ancient science as happened in ancient times. Cultural and social levels also increased over time. Agriculture and livelihoods are increasingly found. The government system was increasingly renewed from what was originally only a small group, small tribes, to a new kingdom and state.

The fields of life that fill human life are growing every time. Especially the most highlighted from it all is science and human mindset. Advances in science and changes in mindset greatly affect various aspects of human life. Everything developed rapidly since the start of the Renaissance (revival period) in Europe at that time. Ancient philosophers began to emerge by changing the human mindset at that time to be far more advanced, modern, and more prioritizing logic and critical thinking when solving a problem. Various new sciences also continue to emerge and develop very far so that humans can make all aspects of life from civilization to be very, very advanced and better.

However, there are side effects of the advanced development of human life. The nature of greed and pride because they feel they have everything begins to undermine the human heart. There were many wars and conflicts which were good in every period. With the advancement of various aspects of life with science, humans are starting to keep trying to compete with one another by showing off their various advantages. Every form of ideology, philosophy, intelligence, and advancement of mindset makes many people forget the things that have been the basis of human beings since time immemorial, namely morals, ethics, norms, and human rights. Thus, there have been many conflicts and complicated problems that have occurred in human life until now.

We cannot avoid the rapid development of human life. It's like human nature that continues to evolve. I don't know what will happen in the future, considering that humans from the beginning until now have gone through various major events that determine human survival. Of course, we all have to be able to learn from the previous lives of our ancestors. All aspects of human life will continue to advance into the future, who knows what it will be like? We can only hold fast to our religion and moral ethics so that humans will not go astray in the future
