I don't like assumptions based on very early Hans did or not did 10.000 years ago.

Indeed. Early Hans were not genetically distinct from us, but they did not have iPhones to distract them.

It's true that distractions were fewer but the work we expect ourselves to do is also very different. It's unclear to me that just getting rid of the distractions would be enough.
