Do I have that about right?
(also, are you saying that if those other bipedal primates had souls the flood would have been bigger? Why? There are, in your scenario - other HSS, with spirit, that the flood didn't touch. Clearly, the "spiritual dimension" doesn't have much to do with this proposed event)
