You find yourself among people who can cope with that primitive life.
No roads, no cars, no fridge, no electricity
with people who believe that
the earth is flat and is the center of the universe.
Their attitude is very simple.
Their intellect is very very simple and can only work out simple things.
Cars, fridges and ways of harnessing electricity didn't just pop into existence by themselves. People who grew up without these things in their lives went on to invent them.
Humans, as a species, didn't have lesser intellects 3,000 years ago. They'd discovered metal working, weaving, calendars, astronomy, mathematics, how to construct buildings with bricks or stone etc. etc. etc. Most people didn't have the opportunity to gain an education but that doesn't mean they were inferior to modern humans.

More advanced than the humans who invented all the things that our Western civilisation is still based on? I like to believe that I can think intelligently but I've never thought up anything new which has made a contribution to the sum of human knowledge.

How are you defining the Nervous System?
Quote:The nervous system is the part of an animal's body that coordinates its voluntary and involuntary actions and transmits signals between different parts of its body.
It's a physical thing. There's nothing mystical about it.
You didn't supply a link to the information about Ötzi's tattoos but I found similar information in another article.
Ötzi Tattoos
Quote:It has been speculated that these tattoos may have been related to pain relief treatments similar to acupressure or acupuncture. If so, this is at least 2000 years before their previously known earliest use in China (c. 1000 BCE).[25]
Speculation isn't proof but there was no evidence that Ötzi's nervous system was any different to 21st century humans. This means that any form of treatment similar to acupuncture would have worked the same way then as it would now.
Where are the snake and mushroom smilies?
