"IMO history gives us no evidence that people where that much different 1000 years ago (the date I picked originally)"

That was not your original date. You originally responded to Lazarus who asked the question:

"Is man any different now than he was 5,000 or 10,000 years ago? Is he not driven by the same desires, urges, fears, and angers?"

You responded to HIM..."Man is no different, or at least not significantly different. But our society has improved. Human nature having not changed the improvements in society and culture have to be maintained. Things can slip back becuase the changes are not changes in fundamental human nature."

"I am willing to consider evidence that human character and mental ability has changed a lot within recorded history"

Is that what you meant by "human nature"??
