No, I don't. Until man was ensouled, he was not man. He was merely one more creature.
As you point out, it is the soul that separates us from the animals more than anything else. Right up to the very last generation before ensoulment, man's ancestors would have been animals.

Is this the type of reasoning that had some scholars (Jewish and Christian) believing in a soulless pre Adamic race of men?
