Thread: In the light of another, recently discovered homo sapiens, what about souls?

There are now known to be several types of homo sapiens who walked the earth up to a few thousand years ago, probably as intelligent and inquisitive as modern day homo sapiens sapiens. What do Christians think of their god's relationship to these people? Do they think these people had "souls"? Were they included in the Genesis that led to Jesus? Or were they, to a Christian's mind, just bipedal animals with large brains? (Larger than ours by the way).
Mr D,
I like the term "faithist"! Can I borrow it?

Some people as usual are just not answering the question...

Humans are humans. Humans have souls. Sometime during evolution God chose a tribe of animals and gave them souls to them and their descendants. Certainly homo sapiens, but maybe before. Intelligence and tool making and exploration don't matter, just their humanity.

How many organs of a genetically engineered pig have to be human for us to want a funeral before burying it? That is the forwards direction of you backwards direction question.

course they had souls, there just a little less evolved.

Bible says... "God created a man in his own image."
