Infanticide and Cannibalism

They are. All of them are in the same family I believe.

Yes, its Hominidae a sub family of Hominoidea where the other branch is Hylobatidae. Now there was at one time a consideration of a third family Pongidae which leads some to the confusion of human's classification of great apes, but Pongidae is a dead taxonomy after further advancements in DNA tech shows the relations clearer. There are of course brances of Hominidae itself, but everything within it are considered great apes.

Hmm, 2 thoughts on this.

1. Wouldn't this mean that the bible is wrong? Whodathunkit.

2. If all modern humans originally came from Africa would that mean that Africans are really to blame for slavery?

Some article I read said they thought they had found musical instruments of some sort... (maybe flutes) in association with Neanderthal remains. I can't remember clearly but I had also thought that adal-adals may have also been used by them. Now of course they had been around longer than we had at the time, but what exactly were the tools they just couldn't comprehend the use of that we had advanced to by that date?

The more I have learned about them…or at least the thoughts and theories of their culture/life style the more I wonder why they actually went extinct. They surely would have kicked our butts in a fight and seem more like people to avoid rather than pick fights with. I can't see having him as a favored item on the menu.
