What I haven't seen mentioned is that physical traits are not the only factor that allows a person to contribute meaningfully to society/civilization now.

The most extreme example I can think of is Stephen Hawking. Physically he is so weak he would have died very young as little as 100 years ago, but he will always be known as a genius among humans, spoken of with the same reverance we use today when we speak of Galileo and Newton.
