I am absolutely not a numbers and math person but even for me the numbers and the math in Genesis 5 is pretty amazing - the way people's lives overlapped - children knowing great grandparents and multiple generations ... I remember four of my great grand-parents. Someone once asked the question Did "Noah know Adam?" It's a fun math problem for older kids.
What wisdom must have lived in that community. Or maybe not...maybe there was wasn't any wisdom even among such an ancient lot.
We can imagine but we really don't know.
