Is there anywhere in the Torah that mentions in detail any other types of humans (Neanderthals, homo erectus, etc..) and how they evolved, or any interactions?

1Like the nephilim? Or the reduction of lifespan? – rosends May 29 '23 at 11:27

@rosends what do you mean here? – Eak2449 Jun 02 '23 at 16:21

@Eak2449 you ask a few different things -- some people understand the nephillim to be another branch on the human evolutionary tree and some see the slow reduction of the human lifespan as recorded through Genesis as an indication of the evolution of man. – rosends Jun 02 '23 at 17:16

@rosends wouldn’t that mean that we believe Adam, Noah, Avraham etc.. were different species? – Eak2449 Jun 02 '23 at 18:00

@Eak2449 no, I don't think so. Evolution within a species doesn't create a new species. If ages of puberty have shifted over time, that doesn't mean that there is a new species of human. – rosends Jun 02 '23 at 18:16
