1. Yes, history does progress. When history stops progressing, the world will end. Every time something is done, history is made. We also know that history progresses because we read and hear about ancient times and people. If history did not progress, then we wouldn’t know (and there wouldn’t be) people before us.
An elephant is not much better than a mammoth. People might think they are because you can ride and train elephants, but who says you could not train mammoths? People just did not have the opportunity to train these animals because in the ice age times, people were not educated as much on handling animals like we are today. However, there are many differences between an elephant and a mammoth. Mammoths were harrier, and usually bigger. History has changed many things in this case. For one, it has changed the way that we view elephants. It has also evolved mammoths to what is today known as an elephant. History has also changed our knowledge of animals such as mammoths. If we did not have history to teach us, we would never know about mammoths and how they compare with elephants. Even though we have history to tell us most things, we most likely did not get to learn if the mammoths were trained to be people friendly or not. Humans assume that they most likely were not because they were hunted in those times. This lesson about mammoths and elephants is just one of the examples of history and how it progresses.
