And in the same documentary I heard that the funny-mysterious properties were fundamental, the experts also said that there are new discoveries of species which are not Homo sapiens, but similar variations, and that did have a big brain and could have gone to school and university and been intellectual.

Or do you think that there is some other sub-group of Homo sapiens very similar to H.s. Sapienses and Neanderthal but still a bit different?

I am looking forward to your answer!
