#8 Modern man has developed weapons and tactics and a class of warriors that more than compensate so that the rest of us can be wimpy. |

#4 It is true what he says about Neanderthal Man. They were immensely strong. They also needed alot of calories to survive. This limited the number of them a given territory could support. Very simply, they could not compete with the larger numbers of modern humans. |

#3 Consider the times at the fall of the Roman empire and the chaos that occured. I'm sure the upper classes had become as dithering and wimpy as ours have. It was probably the common scum that sired us. Dr. Pajama bottoms wouldn't last a minute. |

#1 ...but lives well over two/three times longer than earlier man. [In certain metro 'hoods' the life expectancy is about the same when the utes play stupid territorial rituals imitating early man.] Brain over brawn. You were given that item for a reason, use it. |
