I think homo sapiens are by far the most violent ,destructive creatures to have ever existed here,wholly because of our brain capacity.We need to use this though to be a great species and be the caretakers of the planet.

I agree. Man has shown we are smart and adaptable. I wonder why the Neanderthal faded off the scene. We’re they just absorbed through attrition or did they just die out.
