regarding biological ancestors, I'd just like to remind everyone that the same way your biological ancestor is some dude from the neolithic, not only australopithecus but australopithecus's ancient monkey grandpa is just the same our biological ancestor. since nobody cares about that sort of ancestor, what makes a neolithic one somehow relevant? biology is biology after all. if it's a cultural thing, shouldn't our ancestors be cultural regardless of biology? or does it have to be both?
