<span>An estuary is an enclosed body of coastal water that is a mixture of saltwater and freshwater. This type of body of water provides a transition zone between river environments and maritime environments. This body of water is subject to both marine influences (e.g. tides, waves, salt water) and river influences (e.g. flow of fresh water and sediment) which provide high levels of nutrients in the water and in the soil. Estuaries are known to be one of the most productive natural habitats of different organisms on Earth.</span>

Africa: Do humans change their physical environment to adapt, or do humans adapt themselves to their physical environment? Provi
Reil [10]

Depending on the period of time we are talking about, both things have been taking action. In the past, mostly the humans were adapting to the environment in order to survive, as they were still not powerful enough to start and shape up the environment as they wanted. This can easily be seen in the physical features of the people, like the mongoloids have developed fat bellow their eyes in order to protect them from the extreme cold, as well as reducing the sweat glands because they developed as a race in extremely cold environment.

In the more recent times, the humans have turned things around, and they are the ones that change the environment, not the other way around. Because the humans managed to reach a high level of technological advancements, they do not have evolutionary pressure to change, but they are the ones that make the environment adapt to them.
