Somehow I suspect that human nature has not changed much in 2,500 years.

Voila! That is the fundamental insight of conservative philosophy.

Make that 25,000, or even 250,000 years, and you see why archeology and anthropology are so unsatisfactory.

There is no good explanation why people who are genetically modern do not behave as we do.

A lot of academic liberals don't believe in human nature, which is why the emphasize the differences (to prove that human nature doesn't exist) rather than the similarities (which might prove it does).
