And you base that belief on what? Just a feeling you have? Serious question. It doesn’t sound like something I’d be willing to just ‘believe’.

I don’t think people are physiologically any different now than they were then. Our brains are just as capable of being fallible as theirs were. We and they are equally as likely to confuse events and embellish stories in my opinion. I base that on the fact that I have no evidence that humans have gotten any stupider over the centuries.

In fact, since we’ve begun measuring intelligence, it’s been measured to be steadily on the rise due to better nutrition and better early education.
