This is something I did not know. (The rest I believe I did.) Obviously, if modern schizophrenic humans often come to the same conclusions as pre-3000BC humans, there is no intelligence question, and I withdraw the observation.
The genetic drift equation would also explain a lot of the differences between the past population and the modern population. Now, how any of that relates to the development of consciousness, civilization or religion is certainly another matter...
