:Erectus never did find a cure for these "birth defects". :P
And to make sure the analogy is perfect... Homo Neanderthalus isn't sapiens
at all. More recent techniques have made it pretty clear they were not even
close to the same species as us, and that they were an evolutionary deadend
on a massive scale. Sounds about right to me...
