Is human nature designed to prevent us from progressing beyond our capabilities?

It seems we have built-in speed bumps to prevent us from extending beyond certain capabilities. For example, on an individual level we might be (super) shy which blocks us from becoming too socially active. Likewise, as a human race, we subject ourselves to death and destruction at regular intervals which prevents us from advancing civilization beyond a certain point by keeping us distracted by killing each other. Is this dynamic some form of divine intervention?

i truly think that the universe has limits. people always think as time moves forward, technology will always advance, yet look at the first civilizations. The Indus River Valley Civilization new how to build shower heads so you could poor water and get a proper shower. they also invented toilets and had running water from rivers as plumbing. Earthquakes and other natural disasters drive them away or kill them and plumbing and all that is not seen again for another 1000 years when the Romans re-invent it.
