It would depend on when rational thought and gullibility first kicked around in the human or pre-human brain.

It would be my guess that gullibility predates rational thought, but it's only a guess.

If that's the case, then at some point in our evolution, our brains developed the capacity for rational thought and was able to shrug off the gullible notions of irrationality.

As a species, it would seem that we still have a lot of gullibility running around, kinda like a useless appendage that hasn't fallen off yet.
