People in the Medieval period [or Middle Ages] thought that bathing was hypocritical. This is but one example of practices that have led us to label some parts of this time as "the Dark Ages," reflecting our view that history does not always follow an arc of unwavering progress, but can stagnate or even move backwards from enlightenment.

thank you for your comment. What is " arc of unwavering progress"?

I'm sorry. I got a little carried away. An arc is a circular path. Think of the launch of rocket toward space. "Unwavering progress" means always going forward and upward."
