of course not..  what I am saying that to claim that said bone could be
ancestral to another lifeform based on its similiarity is a leap of faith.
it could be a totally different unrelated creature all together. Your
example of the neanderthal, it was once concieved that it was part of modern
man ancestor, now science claim, it is totally unrelated human species
parallel to modern man but not ascended from. this based on better and
careful study. And by anthropologist willing to accept that previous
conclusion were wrong.
