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.

So we get the word <em>caribbean </em>from <em>carib</em> so it was named after the people that were living there. SOme experts say that there were about 300,000 indigenous peoples living in the caribbean at that time which is pretty big number if you think about it. By 1560 around a little over 50 years later, they were gone so they were wiped clean. Mostly this happened from disease but they were dead.
