There's really very little that's new under the sun.
It's generally the folks that take "Progress" as a given that forget just that.
Keuhnnelt-Leddihn put it well ... sure, things evolve but successful evolution involves accretion and synthesis. I think human beings (although not their essential nature) evolve quite a bit and it is their genuine, self-determined Progress that most distinguishes us from mere animals ... (if not also the Angels ... sigh ... we do have a bad habit of spinning out and cashing it all in from time to time)
