Neanderthal
I often wondered how it would be
to live with a separate specie of humanity.
2% in either direction, be it higher birth or lower mortality rate.
2% was the simple equation that decided the Neanderthal's fate.
Had that simple 2% been attained by the Neanderthal,
they'd be with us today.
I often wonder if with our children theirs would play.
2% in either direction and they would have never become extinct at all,
but they are better off extinct, I must say sadly.
Look at the way we treat each other so horribly.
If Neanderthals existed presently
I'm sure that they'd all be persecuted very gravely.
The Neanderthal's extinction simply came to be
because they couldn't compete with a human specie as intelligent as we.
