Giving human history of treating humans of the same species with slightly different genetic features... I'm almost glad of not knowing what we would have done to a whole different species.

Well, humanity has about 6% Neanderthal in their genome.

and we have genetic evidence of an individual that was a smooth 50% neanderthal and 50% denisovan, it's either just an innate trait in hominids/primates, or all animals will just default to horni when able.

Oh, it's true. The Neanderthal even migrated to Denisova.
