Yes it's is an unnatural and learned way to think and act rationally . I do think 10000 years is recent homo sapiens has been around circa 190000 years . The scientific method may have been formalised very recently in it's current most stringent , and thus effective form very effective newton maxwell eistein planc et al had not been possible otherwise .
