"Do you think human nature has fundamentally changed in the last say 1000 years"

Yes. I think it may have changed in the last 5000 years; though I doubt I can express such an adamant conclusion as you did.

Before we could rationally discuss the issue we would need to define terms. What did you mean when you declared that human nature had not changed? What categories had you evaluated and assessed? I can't very well either dispute or concur with your opinions without your being willing to share with me the details and the bases of your conclusions.

EDIT: Perhaps you were considering that "human nature" is dependent on genetics (DNA) rather than something else? Is that it?
