<<<<<Who are you to say that Ns with a larger brain capacity than we have did not speculate on taxonomy>>>>>

We humans are better than the Neanderthals don't you know. So funny; our hubris gives us all the incentive to think of ourselves as better than Neanderthals. Maybe they were smart and passive? Like big Teddy Bears? Who can say now?

One misperception many have is that we evolved from Neanderthals or Denison man when it is more likely all of the groups evolved from a common ancestor and that the separate species - or more likely in my mind subspecies - evolved as parallel branches that kept touching so that DNA traveled back and forth between the groups. In the case of Neanderthals that was advantageous for us since we inherited their resistance to disease in the new territory we were moving into. Maybe for them it was a disadvantage? Maybe we gave them something from our DNA that their DNA was not prepared to handle?
