Our
soul would have been the same as dog, or horse, or bird. IMO soul is hard to define so maybe even
spirit works. The souls/spirits of animals don't change; the "spirit of the bear" is the same for all bear. So therefore the soul of Man would've been the same for all Man. (50k years ago
hominid was no different than
bear in regards to his motivation - his motivation was survival)
But the soul of Man is not the same for all. In our current state, it can be formed. And I suspect that it forms out of Good and Bad decisions. Over time if bear too was capable of acting against his instinct, repercussion would follow.
I am going to post something in a minute that I think helps illustrate this.
