To be fair, even scientists in this world believe we still have predominantly stone age brains. It's simply the means of how we used them changed to create better technologies, to develop more sophisticated societies and cultures and to build the modern age world we have today. So on that basis, I don't think it's the people that have low intelligence, but simply the massive difference in their evolutionary and societal environments. Then again, these people, particularly the humans, are no longer considered to be homo sapiens sapiens, at least according to the author, so half-assed human evolutionary biology knowledge may not help out. Also, in fairness, their technologies are practically a mishmash of devices spanning from the late antiquity to the modern era, so at least give them some credit for developing (if not inventing and discovering them, probably due to the players' contributions). Well, that's what I just think.
