Does history progress? Is an elephant really "better" than a mammoth?

                History does progress over time through evolution and industry. It has been progressing since the beginning of time and will cease to stop until the end of time.  History can be expressed in many ways such as vortex, Hegelian, cyclic, and linear. History  made up of many small events and many huge events. Through the vortex theory of it keeps going and never stops it just has smaller events which lead to bigger events.  In Hegelian history it expressed through two different events affects each other and cause a brand new event. With each new event it combines with another event that creates more events. In cyclic history it is expressed in that everything has a cycle. It means it goes through a cycle and no matter what there is a cycle. History progresses through evolution. For example there was the mammoth and now we have the elephant. I think mammoths are so much better than elephants. The mammoth was superior because it weighed more and could fend for itself. Now we have elephants that are at zoos and are now fed by us and they do not fend for themselves, only a few still fend for themselves. History had also progressed through industry we have changed the whole way things are done compared then in the past. Humans can’t really see our history progress through evolution because it happens over many of years and it is such a slight change compared to through industry. People can see how there world is changing through factories, technology, and transportation.
