Change is the one thing we can be certain of. The world's climate has changed pretty dramatically within human history. It was the receding of the last Ice age that coincided with the spread of homo sapiens and the decline of Neanderthals.
Were they related? Well, it seems like they should be but I don't know if we actually know. They clearly coexisted for some period of time and while looking back at the history would indicate a fairly quick transition, it still would have lasted a fair number of lifetimes.
During any transition period, you have the new mixing with the old. The old will inevitably give way to the new but they might try to fight back. We see that today in America and with some success. However the wave of change will eventually wash them out of the way and a better more fair America will emerge.
Just might be delayed.
