I do not think that "superior" is the correct word. "Different" would seem to fit better.
We as humans adapt to our surroundings.
500 years ago men went to the bathroom in the woods.
300 years ago someone invented the OUTHOUSE because of privacy.
Today we have 2 or 3 airconditioned bathrooms in our houses.
500 years ago, running water was not thought of. We used a pail and had a well.
500 years ago men drank whiskey and got drunk and fell off of their horse but there was not a whole lot of people being killed by drunks driving horses.
