This is a fairly well studied sociological phenomenon, and holds consistently true throughout history (exceptions do happen, of course).

listen to yourself, though. sociology isn't even as old as the US! you are confusing the map - contemporary psychological, sociological, and political understanding - for the terrain - why other people do things

Quantum theory is barely a century old, and yet we're using it to build computers. Venerability is not a defense, and sociology didn't need to be invented in order to describe human nature.

History itself tells us how humans behave, and it's remarkably accurate (once you learn to account for source bias)

we do not have anything even approaching a perfect grasp of history - it may not even be possible

I agree that a perfect grasp is likely not possible, but we do the best with what we have, and what we have is pretty illuminating.

the entirety of human history has been people doing the best with what they have

there isn't even one consistent definition of "the best" today, let alone projected over the entirety of human existence in the past and future

Is the human race more likely to survive (taking into account that sometimes tough decisions are necessary but frequently are made in favor of the decision-maker's immediate tribe and doing so negates the premise) is what I would consider "the best". I can't speak for others.

"the human race" is an idea that did not exist at some point.

So is "life". Plato isn't the end-all be-all.
