Ibn and Marco are not typical of people during their time period because of the extensive travels that they went on. They traveled all over the Europe, Asia and Africa and that was practically unheard of during their time. Many commoners could not afford such expensive travels and therefore few made such distant journeys. They would be much more typical of this time period because they covered so much area of land and ocean, which is much more accessible and easier to do these days. Marine traveling is much easier now as opposed to the past when it was long and extensive and also costly.
