| > Those people would be not different then you and me. We know that good nutrition during childhood has a significant impact on IQ, as does avoiding parasite infections. Those ancients were the same species as us, but it is almost know that that they likely suffered from food precarity at times and endemic infections, so the belief they had their shit less together than many modern populations is reasonable. |

| Yes, but they didn't have art schools, museums, supplies and they didn't doodle in boring classes or meetings. They didn't have an "art tradition" - or at least not in the way we do now - they had invented it themselves. If Rembrandt, Raphael or Warhol were born back then they wouldn't have had the cultural milieu to create the same things. |

The German/French TV station "Arte" sometimes has the content in english too and other European languages.... They cover neolithic and bronze age quiet regular because we have many of these and other sites... |
