experts are looking a neanderthal DNA, and the jury is out - my prediction is that we have met the neanderthals, and they are us.
My thoughts also.
We have evolved from hunters to agrarians to cubicle sitters, which means our physical makeup has had a tendency to change. Not necessarily better.
The main point is that it is WE who evolved.
Evolution is simply survival. Survival comes from what we are made of. Eukaryotes. They are our makeup.
