Answer 1

Humans have established many societies throughout history, some of which were essentially determined by the environment in itself. For instance, there were nomadic periods wherein the societies completely depended upon their immediate environment. The resources like rivers, availability of plants and animals played a role in determining whether or not mankind can survive in that region. Slowly and steadily many advancements in the way the society functioned changed the way the dynamics of mankind operated. For instance agricultural practices, horticulture, industrialization and eventually globalization are certain revolutions that took place in the society which changed all of this manifold. Therefore as the period or the era changes, all the dynamics change with the revolutions and transforms all the domains of existence for the species.
