Was the Torah given to humans, not to angels, cockroaches, doctors, or perhaps even to upgraded humans?
It is agreed that the Torah was given to humans, not to ministering angels, nor to any creature that is not Homo sapiens.
Let’s assume they succeed in reviving the Neanderthal. Blue will be depicted as not being bound by any of the 7 Noahide commandments, but only by moral and logical commandments.
What if humans become more advanced in consciousness, memory, body, and a variety of characteristics, and no longer be homo sapiens but a different creature, as Rabbi Yuval Noah predicts? Will they be exempt from the commandments?
The Torah was not given to them.

A teacher and a teacher are killing reeds in a lake. Only without the modesty appropriate to his level.
But since you raised this question, it is a slur. After all, religion is a psychological need, there is no other need for it in modern society (to the point that some expected it not to survive this era at all, as is known), and certainly not a realistic need (in the sense that it exists in objective reality as most believers imagine), and if the upgraded person is devoid of this need, religion will disappear of itself, and we will not have to deal with questions that the Torah gives that never even occurred to him. And if the upgraded person for some reason remains with this need, then he will already discuss the matter.
We find that one way or another, there is no point in us dealing with the issue.

That the Torah is binding/relevant only for milk and outside of this area it is not
Maybe it is the same for the new species that will someday be the crown of creation.
The question is whether he will be allowed to exterminate Homo sapiens for all sorts of needs
just as man was allowed to exterminate his own living beings for his own pleasure and need…?
Would that be considered murder?
Or legitimate hunting?
