Are you one of these people that think humans are separate from the rest of the animal kingdom?
Are you not interested in the history of Homo sapiens, how we got to this point?
Are you not fascinated by the thought that NINE human species walked the Earth 300,000 years ago, and only one remains...us?
For me, these exciting discoveries help paint a fuller picture of our history, fills in the gaps; and every so often, re-writes what we already knew (or thought we knew!)
I'm guessing you still don't agree, but I would strongly recommend reading "Sapiens - A brief history of human kind" by Yuval Noah Harari
