Neanderthals were too stupid to hunt rabbits (and other small game) or food? They deserve to be extinct if that is true. Perhaps they were just too lazy to have to bag twenty four pound rabbits to replace one eighty pound deer. Again, if so they deserve to be extinct.
I seem to remember P.J. O’Rourke writing about the “famine” in the Horn of Africa. He mentioned driving by corn fields and pastures with cattle, sheep, and goats in them and remarking that stuff looked like food to him. (The “famines” were caused by the war lords, i.e., politicians throughout the region.)
I also remember my fifth grade teacher telling the class about the German’s reaction to the heavy infusion of American grain to Europe after World War II. “Corn ist fur schwein!” A lot of Germans refused to eat corn because Germans fed corn to pigs! They apparently would rather be hungry than to eat grits or cornbread. They were too stupid to survive and likely only did so because the U.S. State Deparment switched to shipping wheat instead of corn.
