God I wish so badly that there were still extant species and genera of proto-humans and archaic humans

It'd be so interesting to be able to study Australopithecines directly rather than relying on chimps and bonobos

Ha, I've thought of this myself.
Early Sapiens could, theoretically, be educated to understand anything you and I could, even though they lived 300,000 years ago. In fact, probably even many Homo erectus could, with enough education. But this is fascinating to see how far back understanding could go.
