Came to say the same. From different angles...
from the article:
"""The idea is that, in the modern world, we have sort of modern skulls, but the wiring—the cognitive structure of the brain itself—is not being modified, because enough evolutionary time hasn’t passed. This goes for evolutionary functions like mate selection, parental care, predator avoidance—that our brains were pretty much in the same state as our ancestors’ brains."""
But, nobody is saying our brains are in the same state. Rather that our brain's state is impacted in the same way as our ancestors, because we have inherited the genes that produced the structures that influence the brain states which are possible/likely.
