crusader1234 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Well, this is all very complicated now. I think that Neanderthals, considering theyre from a different branch of evolution, would most certainly not be humans and have no rational souls. Homo Habilis or whatever? Maybe?

Socrates Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Homo habilis is much more primitive than a neanderthal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 But it is at least in the same direct evolutionary progress as a Homo Sapiens, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socrates Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Remember, the relationships of the creatures on this "family tree" is pure speculation, and evolutionists all disagree about how the tree should be arranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader1234 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Thats true, but it doesn't change the fact that different species of 'humanoid creatures' (hahaha) exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Just a thought: Neanderthals are normally classified (by evolutionary biologists) as "Homo sapiens neanderthalensis", while individuals such as myself are classified as "Homo sapiens sapiens." Not a distinct species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookwyrm Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 [quote name='thedude' date='Jan 22 2005, 10:26 AM'] Neanderthals are normally classified (by evolutionary biologists) as "Homo sapiens neanderthalensis", while individuals such as myself are classified as "Homo sapiens sapiens." Not a distinct species. [/quote] That is incorrect. Nowadays scientists consider neanderthals to be a distinct species. (see crusader's chart.)
