I think you mean 80ish years max and a bunch of papers making historical claims. Nobody has been alive for 240 nor 1500 years. Everybody is working from the same starting point.

In fact, if that is how it worked we’d still all be equal in our abilities because we all have an ancestry that goes back to the same place at the same time.
