Answer and Explanation:

Cultural epoch theory states that all cultures went through the same stages of social and economic growth.

The most significant contribution of Mesopotamia to western civilization was the invention of writing. Over time as society evolved, writing also developed into a new form called Cuneiform. Due to that, they exchange ideas among other cultures.

Religious evolution over some time also had a significant impact on this civilization. They changed traditionally due to their insight. They first believe in nature and use to worship the unknown forces; those figures belong to the “dying gods.” Then they shape their worship gods into some human-shaped gods. After the evolution, their religion started characterized by the concept of sin and forgiven. Moreover, religion started considered to be some personal thing.

Evolving culture, religion, and economy in Mesopotamian civilization is the same as every culture developed through chaos, adjustment, and balance.
