"Pretty much. I'm focusing on the mental, emotional, psychological, and moral aspects of humanity" So is it still unchanged "human nature" to believe that all but the representatives of God are rightfully slaves to the Rulers--and without individual rights to life or liberty? Is it still unchanged "human nature" to pray to Rain Gods, Sun Gods, Thunder Gods, and other Nature Gods? Is it still unchanged "human nature" to be terrified of thunder as being the voice of a Supernatural Being? Well, we could go on and on...right? The reason I am asking is because you used "emotional, mental, psychological, and moral" as referents. Now if you merely meant that people always had some feelings and some intellect and some rules of behaviour, then, of course your assertion that "human nature" had not changed would be true--although devoid of any import or meaning. But if you meant that the quality of intellectual, emotional, and moral activity and interrelationship and socialization had not changed, then I certainly do not understand what could possibly make a difference to you in terms of evidencing such changes. What would you consider a mental change? an emotional change? A moral difference in human nature??
