My limited understanding, is that we modern humans are Homo Sapiens. Whereas Neanderthals, Cro Magnon Man,
Homo Erectus, Australopithecus(sp?) et al were previous species of man. At least that is what I have understood, that these other human species experienced interbreeding with Homo Sapiens, and were bred out of existence as separate species of man.
Anyone know better, please educate us. Thanks.
One characteristic included in the definition of species is that difference species cannot breed together.
Also, I had the impression that Neanderthals, Cro Magnon Man,
Homo Erectus, Australopithecus(sp?) not smart and would not be able form cults!
