[QUOTE="Mechanical Bliss, post: 709254, member: 5048"] That's still not what I'm talking about. I am not talking about language, nor am I talking about prehistoric "man". H. neanderthalensis is not the same species as modern humans and are not believed to be direct ancestors to H. sapiens but rather an offshoot. Regardless, it is a species that is a hominid, but not human, but they had burial rituals and were apparently conscious of death. My point is that there exists evidence that non-human species also had a consciousness of death and burial rituals that are traits normally attributed to modern human species only by those who advocate that modern humans are special creations with special mental traits that are greatly different from other animals. Clearly H. sapiens was not the only species conscious of death to the point that they had burial rituals. That is to say, from a "special creation" perspective inclusive of a literal interpretation of the "Garden of Eden" story, was knowledge of death (and corresponding burial rituals) something acquired from God and/or from eating the fruit of the "Tree of Knowledge" given only to modern humans thus separating them from other animals? If not, why not? If so, how do you explain neanderthal burials? [/QUOTE]
