Nice piece there bro.
Actually bro, for subjectivity, when you talk about the humans in this present time, using just the "Homo sapiens" may sound tricky, especially when you mention the Neanderthals as an independent species.
This is because, the Neanderthals are also subspecies of the Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis), and they didn't evolve into the modern man. And there is also the Homo sapiens idaltu and some others.
Homo sapiens is "the thinking man". But if you want to refer to the modern man in this present time, it would be more elucidating to use "Homo sapien sapiens" - meaning; the subspecies of Homo sapiens in this present time.
