Some modern ideas about thinking are modern.

How about: ancient people had brains that were physically similar to anyone modern, and sometimes they came up with one or two good ideas, but they were generally poorly informed and full of misconceptions by modern standards.

I’d quibble about the tone with “one or two good ideas” but with the general meaning, I wouldn’t disagree.
