Looked at history. It has to do with the development of the mind.

Go back 500 years and compare how people lived, what they believed and how they thought.

The differences are stark. Living in any of the previous centuries was pretty brutal for most.

Today life is much more civilized and humane and it all has to do with what we learned to understand e.g. humanity and civil rights.
