maybe something more formal or academic.

Its history has changed drastically over the past decades, and it continues to change.

Thanks

I can't think of anything more formal or academic. You could say "... and it is still changing".

I have no problem with the word "please" but it was in an unnatural position in your sentence.

Please can you tell me other ways of saying ...?
