Two thousand years is not enough time to make the human CNS "completely different" as you claim it to be. However, if you believe in rapid holistic evolution, perhaps you could go read a couple books on evolution over your break, and come back with a better evolved understanding of the theory. All you have right now are appeals to magical thinking.
Very or quite different (what i said) is DIFFERENT from COMPLETELY different (what you say i said).
Your misquote does not help to understand much.
Some of you even said that in the last few thousand years nothing change
or there is no difference.
Garbage.
Even a small difference make the difference.
If i drive at 60 km hour i can stop in time to prevent an accident.
If i drive at 63 km hour i can not stop in time so a tiny difference make the difference between killing a pedestrian and not killing.
At the same time a brain a little bit more developed is able to do things that a brain less developed can not do.
In 3000 years the difference is much more then tiny that is why i said that the difference can be dramatic.
Why is that so?
It works as the avalanche.
In the beginning the speed is slow but as it goes down it take speed and
after a while the speed is at her maximum.
The same thing happen with human consciousness.
For a million of years it has moved very very slow.
In the last 15000 years the speed has improve and in the last
few thousand years has gone even faster
But now at every step it goes faster and faster.
You just look at the technological progress.
Almost no progress until few hundred years ago but now
is going very fast and it will go even faster in the future.
If i would follow you guys demented ideas then i would have
to understand that there is no the avalanche syndrome and
the progress works in a different way.
Get real guys you still live in a world of total fantasy.

You are presuming that today studies are able to discover these differences.
I got bad news for you.
Physical science can not in any way find out what does not
belong to to physical science like the consciousness.
By looking at the nervous system you may not find
much differences but differences got to be there otherwise
the snow man and his people would have invented what we
got these days rather then go around without the today
technology.
Quote:You seem to be under the impression that human intellect/intelligence has advanced in the past few thousand years. Our technology and scientific discoveries have but the pioneers in technology and science were people living thousands of years ago.
You forgot a small particular.
In every ages there has been skilled individual
but the percentage in the old times was very
very small compared to these days.
When you got 1 extra skilled person among
a crowd of a million people it will be very difficult
for this chap to do anything worthwhile.
It is more likely that he-she may be burn alive
as a mad man or as a witch for their ideas.
