Oh, I don't know. I think it's a pretty modern
innovation. It seems that mass acculturation has been
the rule for most of human history. Thus the mongols
in China, the Persian, Parthian, and Roman empires,
blah blee, blah blah. That's one reason I think that
homo s. and homo n. might have interbred. The reason I
don't think that they were lunch is that they appear
to be larger, stronger, as smart as, and as
technologically advanced as the homo sapiens they had
encountered. Maybe disease got them, but I don't think
they were massacred.
