What was the purpose of multiple species in the grand plan?

In a previous post there was some discussion on whether Neanderthals had a soul. I think the conclusion was that there is no such entity. So the next question is just what was the purpose of having multiple species on this earth? Homo Erectus, Homo Sapien, Neanderthal. They all lived on the earth at the same time, and many other species preceded them. Were they all just part of a greater human experiment where God sat back to see which would become the ultimate survivor? Well, the Homo Sapien's won that battle around 25,000 years ago. Why did it then take another 19,000 years for the Creatrix to reveal the eternal plan to Adam and Eve?
(Bare in mind I don't believe the OT creation story.)

And, if we have no soul, what happens to us after we die? If we are tucked away in the memory of the Creatrix, is there a plan to bring us back out? In different circumstances maybe to see how we would react?

There never was an Adam and Eve, there never was a "fall". There is only an eternal rise as life continually adapts to the environment and the pressure of other life. Hebrew storytellers came up with the Adam and Eve thing, and it made its long and convoluted way into western mythology. They just made em up, see?

And, if we have no soul, what happens to us after we die?

Do you see the slight of hand you perform by the language of your question? You assume the axiom that there is always an "us" that we need to account for in life and death. In truth, only in life is there a "you", a "me", an "us". Do we speak of the unborn as though they pre-exist? When did you never live? Why then speak of the dead as though they post-exist?

If we are tucked away in the memory of the Creatrix, is there a plan to bring us back out?

This is what the gospel promises us. Hence it is called "Good News". Yet there are people counting on an eternal second life who cannot spend a single afternoon in this present life well.

If there is no pre or post "us", then why should I give a damn? Why would I even care if there is a Creatrix? How do we even know there is a Creatrix?

ARGUMENT FROM FEMALE ORGASM: Since a lack of sexual climax in (some unfortunate) women is not a hinderance to reproduction, the existence of the female orgasm in general can only be explained as the superabundant gift of a generous Creatrix.

So, I orgasm, therefore I am?

You guys are busting me up with the homo erectus. :)
