Simple organisms, including bacteria and various protists, the life cycle is completed within a single generation: an organism begins with the fission of an existing individual; the new organism grows to maturity; and it splits to new individuals, thus completing the cycle. Human is a different story. Its look like ends with one cycle but its not. It contuniue with generations. The knowledge we have is go through time. Human cycle is endless. We born, grow up and die like all organisms but our knowledge continue to improve.
