I thank you. Now I am off for a hike and a picnic--two small things I find that exceed the dubious pleasures of human slaughter. Yes, I know the interbreeding conjecture. I am sure that if it was possible, then it was done. As people (even now) often view different cultures and races as sub human (as an example from the Jewish faith, there is a Jewish sect that considers the rest of humanity animals in the sense of having no souls and thus no "rights"), it would thus have required no specific criteria as to where either the interbreeding or the slaughter of the "neanderthals" began. There are many sects with these ideas and my mention of Judaism is simply because it comes to mind and not because it is singular. As long as some of us have "souls" (or inferior "souls") our slaughter of one another will apparently never end. What you say makes good sense. Although it is difficult to understand how DNA makeup informs values of the mind and culture--it is yet obvious that the electricity that runs our brains is not always flowing in the right direction. <g>
