I don't buy the assumption that people in the past were less intelligent.
They just didn't have the benefit of accumulated knowledge we have.
I agree. I can't imagine going back in time 500 years and trying to explain and manufacture a lot of the stuff we take for granted, i.e. penicillin, a firearm, a bicycle, a computer.

Maybe I watched "Army of Darkness" one too many times.
