Why does human life require progress and advancement?
What made humans dissatisfied with staying put? Why weren't we like the rest of the animal kingdom who have predictable, unchanging lives?

Evolved minds and a need for security/comfort.
In the land before time, you could fall asleep in an open cave, but then wake up to a wildcat gnawing your face off. Today we have beds in houses with locks and communities of neighbors (and zoos to contain the carnivores, for that matter).
Though there are some negative things about straying away from nature, I would say that doing so, in some cases, has made survival and replication exceptionally more probable.

Black women suck at life.

Re: Why does human life require progress and advancement?
Because we're not part of the animal kingdom. Though made from clay, there is something peculiarly divine about us. We are a reflection of God Himself - creations, but also creators:Boner_Jones wrote:What made humans dissatisfied with staying put?

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him..."
-- Genesis 1:27
And we are made to rule, to husband, to build, not just exist, eat, fart, and rut like animals:
"The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."
-- Genesis 2:15

Re: Why does human life require progress and advancement?
So then... we were meant to develop and advance? Our unavoidable fate and destiny?
If so then... what will humans and society look like?
100,000... 500,000... 1,000,000 years from now?
Isn't human civilization only like... 15,000 years old so far?
That's like a drop in the bucket... compared to how old the earth is, something like 4 billions years old...
