  • Math is probably the least useful at that age, maybe later in the bronze age it gets more useful as society can support some knowledge work. 10k years ago people don’t have time for math, the majority of people are focused solely on survival. That’s stone age and the very beginning of agriculture.

    If the average person went back 10k years they would be regarded as insane or heretical. Even assuming communication wasn’t an issue, way too much of your knowledge is built upon things you don’t understand and don’t exist. You can’t do anything with electricity until you can refine metals and make copper wire. No average person knows the precursor plants for medicine. Brick making is beyond the average person and you wouldn’t have a kiln anyway. Working without metal tools makes most processes the average person would know impossible.

    25-28 sounds about right for men. For women that seems way to old, 14 is still very young, but around 20-23 was common.

    Also keep in mind that a church could bend the truth and just not publish the overlap. You can have a few branches going way back and just be unknown on those that overlap with them.
