Yep, maybe the most dangerous weapon in our hands is neither a nuclear warhead nor VX but CRISPR.

Is there another word who should be used instead of this evolution ?

Well, we can define evolution as a mechanism that preserves (useful) information. Apparently mankind has developed techniques to pass on knowledge to the next generation and this process is often referred to as "cultural evolution". I must admit, I don't like the expression.

There is no Empirical evidence We descended from the Neanderthal.
Last I heard was that that was a seperate line and some people have traces of the Neanderthal genes.
Probably from a funky night near a camp fire.

At that time the Neanderthalers were a bit more intelligent than what was to become Homo sapiens much later, so why not breed with them.

Obviously there were no laws against it at the time.

Try humping a Chimpanzee today and see how fast you go to jail!

To hospital rather, if you're lucky. Adult Chimpanzees are killing machines.
