New Challenges to Human Adaptation and
Social Change
Humans are generally adaptive to changes in the
environment. If people perceive relevant changes in the
surroundings they are in, they readily adapt their behavior
to meet these new challenges for their own benefit.
Changes are inevitable. They bring a host of problems,
and as humans, we are challenged to respond to these
problems not only individually but collectively.
