I mean, that's why it's so exciting! Who is human and who isn't? I agree that a lot of folks who were our cousins could also be classified as human, but I think that requires re-examining the definition. That's why this is so interesting to me. This find redefines a lot of expectations.

If we considered ourselves special because we alone did x, y, z things, we aren't so special anymore.
