This is another great read, a compilation of many various researchers and studies, surprisingly well written, and quite readable.

This is in comparison to some of the denser, more academic tomes -- not to denigrate, but to advise -- such as Bernardo Kastrup and

You know, exactly the sort of reading the skeptics never read, for fear of having to abandon their rabid skepticism and actually inform their determined ignorance.

I was led to believe a lot of things growing up, but most of it turned out to be untrue.

1. check out this article on neanderthal brains. Seems homo sapiens and neanderthals weren't that different after all.
   
   
2. As for the "constantly fought and killed them," this seems more like a hypothesis than a fact.
   
   Although humans use violence (we prove it every day with our wars, confrontations, etc.), there is nothing in what you said that proves humans are naturally violent.
   
   In fact, there's growing evidence that humans are great receivers and transmitters of energies that can be used to heal other humans, plants, animals, etc. (Read Lynne McTaggert's The Field and Intention Experiment for the science behind it), which suggest humans are naturally healers, not killers.
