They probably would have been enslaved. How depressing. I forgot about homo flores. But presumably there was never any contact between them and homo sapiens sapiens, whereas HSS and HSN coexisted in territory.
Is the idea still being batted about that the Neanderthals did not die off so much as become incorporated into the European branch of homo sapiens sapiens through interbreeding, or has that theory been disproven? There must have been some exchanging of genetic material going on, given the ever-popular "take the women of the other tribe" strategy. Are the two species too far apart to produce viable offspring?
