Consider the first people to encounter gorillas, and their wonder if these were human.

And the Papua New Guinean highlanders’ astonishment at meeting whites, from Australia for the first time, less than a century ago! They inspected the visitors’ poop and (apparently) had women sleep with them to confirm that they were indeed human.

Today there’s a lot of support for skepticism about “supernatural”. A thousand years ago, much less so—who knew what wonders existed far away?
