I like this thought, actually.  I like very much the idea that our forebears were much, much smarter than we give them credit for.  This modern hubris -- that we've conquered the world and that we smarter than any who have gone before -- is dangerous.  A very good argument can be made that we are not better off in the neolithic.  And if you go back a hundred years or so, there is no argument that we were better off before we ate the apple.
