- pacaro 10y agoIt's not clear to me how true this is. There are definitely individuals that exhibit savant skills in one area and mediocre to poor skills in other areas. But there are also true polymaths who can turn their hands to just about anything, I suspect that those people would do well on aggregate in any period of human history
