From Reverend Tony Graham
Reports that Neanderthals might have become extinct because of their lack of social skills compared with Homo sapiens should not make us complacent (16 March, p 8). Our ability to maintain personal social groups of around 150 individuals and nation states of millions are impressive.
But if we see those beyond our groups as deserving death, we might not last much longer. We need to value and protect the lives of everyone on the planet. I write on a day when in UK tabloid newspaper The Sun, the chief concern about the new pope is that he is Argentinian – a nation the UK went to war with over the Falkland Islands.
