Did humanity pass through primitive stages in its development and civilization, and are there actually primitive people, and do these sayings contradict the noble verse: "And He taught Adam all the names"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah informed us that He taught Adam all the names, and this was a teaching of names only. It appears that language continues to expand. As for the knowledge of crafts and the composition of entities, the verse did not address it. The verses and hadiths indicate humanity's development in its crafts and professions. Therefore, the development of human crafts, professions, and tools is something no rational person can deny, nor does the Islamic law (Sharia) contradict or oppose it. As for the development of human growth itself, its falsehood has been previously explained.
