Fairly certain even the idea of consent is part of what makes us human.

1: Neanderthals are also humans for the purpose you’re discussing, the results of higher cognitive functions. The label is actually applied to all hominins by anthropologists (note the nin and not nid)
2: A lot of tribal cultures have historically had more female autonomy than women in industrialized or preindustrial cultures. There’s a lot of discussion about why that is exactly but this image of women as caveman chattel is just a lie

From a very cursory Wikipedia check, hominini includes chimpanzees?
I might have missed something - you’re saying anthropologists consider all hominins human? Including chimpanzees?

Hominini is not the same thing as hominin, in short. Hominins are more properly known as the subtribe hominina of the tribe hominini.
I know, it’s obnoxious. It’s like some of these dudes are just making names up as they go along.

Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification!
