More information is available to a larger number of humans in the world of today. For example, we know more about science and the Earth. The fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun, what causes thunder and lightning, and an incredible number of electronic and medical advances.

We "stand on the shoulders of giants" who preceded us, and so can make further progress in our knowledge of the universe.

Arguably, though, humans may not have increased in our inherent CAPACITY for understanding. If we could bring a person who existed 10,000 years ago into the modern world (by a time machine), and subject him to our forms of education, he would likely learn as much as an average human does today.
