Good illustration. On a smaller level, even in America, in areas that were isolated, and successive generations of families then self isolated, you find less inclination to change. Even providing education, for improving health, does little to improve their health outcomes; this is found to be really frustrating among public health practitioners today. If not enhanced with new challenges, intellect doesn't seem to flourish among progeny. Wasted efforts to teach a population how to improve its way of life, as they don't grasp the concepts and implications. Should revise alot of social programs based on failure rates observed. but....you know THAT won't happen. That's what I can gather from it anyways. So, similar in whole cultures and civilizations thousands of years ago.
