Progress in history means that the world is getting better in terms of technology, quality of life, and other things that tell people if the world is getting better through specific events in history. There have been many events throughout history that have affected these themes of progressive history and have made history regress somewhat. The important thing is that most of the negative events throughout history have been resolved with the help of humans or other countries discovering a new way to solve the negative event. For example, many of the wars were resolved with the help of human stepping in and stopping all of the deaths that were occurring so the wars could end. History must progress through time in order for the world to keep going each day and if history regressed for a significant amount of time, it would be safe to say that history would not be progressing. Even though history always manages to progress, it sometimes can take a step back, even sometimes for a long period of time.
I would say that the mammoth is probably better than a present day elephant because the mammoth lived through pretty bad conditions like the Ice Age and they supported themselves just enough to survive through treacherous conditions. Mammoths are even bigger in size than the elephant even though they are in the same family and their bodies learned to adapt to the coldest conditions. Elephants today have it easy compared to mammoths in the past because some of them get to live in zoos and they can find food pretty easily. Mammoths also had a ton of strength they could use to survive attacks from other animal and they could use their tusks efficiently. This is why mammoths are probably a little better than elephants since the past was much harder to live in then now.
