Primitive man less intelligent than us?

Do you think "Primitive" man are far less intelligent than the humans of today?

What if a man/woman with the same "IQ" of normal humans today was born in a "primitive" world, without knowledge of anything but their own instincts, and the knowledge of the "primitive" humans around them. Do you think this person could accomplish more than the common "primitive" man could? Is our superior "Intelligence" just a illusion, since we never discovered everything we were taught, but that our "inferior" ancestors discovered, little by little?

Do you think YOU could discover the properties of fire/plants (farming) without previous knowledge of these subjects, just using your basic human knowledge? Do you think you could invent important things such as the wheel, wagon, irrigation and weaponry?

Do you think Billy Bob that lives down the street could discover fire if he, and no other human had previous knowledge of its properties? Do you think the young girl that served you your coffee at the local Cafe could? Do you think Stephen Hawking could?

Your reply has one flaw:

Where did these slaves come from, and were they slaves?

In regards to, say, the construction of the pyramids, forget everything the movie "The Ten Commandments" taught you.  It's very inaccurate.  It took far less people to build the pyramids than what is commonly conceived, only for the simple fact that there were both not enough people in the region to have tens-to-hundreds of thousands of slaves NOR the ability to feed, clothe, and care for them (they may be slaves, but they still need food and water, plus clothing and basic medical care if for nothing else than slaves being an expensive commodity.

Second, barely any of the workers who built the various pyramids WERE slaves.  The designers were skilled engineers, equal or better than those we train and use today.  The stone slabs were carved by masons using techniques we are unable to duplicate today.  On at least one pyramid the blocks were secured together with metal rods - metal poured into small notches carved on top of the blocks as they were fitted together via portable smelting pots.  Something that shouldn't have been invented for at least another thousand years.  The people who actually put the pyramids together?  Paid lower-class and foreign workers for the most part, as well as some (but not all that many) slaves.  And lets not forget the artisans.

And as for your statement regarding creating impressively large buildings yet only using it to worship a statue, I suggest waling into any Christian establishment and take a gander at the cross hanging on the wall.

You kind of fell flat on your face in the evolutionary/intelligence scale.
