I feel bad for the Denisovians. They weren't smart enough, but if you think long term they could have been a useful slave race. Think dogs, but much smarter.

And Neanderthals may actually have been smarter than us. We interbred with them, and there was a window of opportunity but no, humans were mean and killed off the Neanderthals. To call that racism is going easy: we committed genocide.

So glad I don't have children. They may have to survive a new era of genocide: the dumb minority turning on the smart minority, while the "middle class" of intellect refuse to take a side. Two digit IQ good, three digit BAD.

If you look back you will find long, quality YouTubes on the various Homo species in our family tree.
