Drove them? In an SUV?

But first, the invading group "did" all the women, leading to interspecies offspring. There is old folklore about something like that, the genocide of a small race that is, from Taiwan, if memory serves. Read about it here on FR.

That's the Tolkien dialogue that informed the Harvard Lampoon's "Bored of the Rings" version of Samwise. "It's a long way to the Zazu Pits, Bwana."

Regardless, they still survived the catastrophic explosion at near-by
Toba 70-75,000 years ago.
"The last glacial period was preceded by 1000 years of the coldest temperatures of the Late Pleistocene, apparently caused by the eruption of the Mount Toba volcano. The six year long volcanic winter and 1000-year-long instant Ice Age that followed Mount Toba's eruption may have decimated Modern Man's entire population. Genetic evidence suggests that Human population size fell to about 10,000 adults between 50 and 100 thousand years ago. The survivors from this global catastrophy would have found refuge in isolated tropical pockets, mainly in Equatorial Africa. Populations living in Europe and northern China would have been completely eliminated by the reduction of the summer temperatures by as much as 12 degrees centigrade.

My 1st husband and I had a copy of the Lampoon’s “Bored of the Rings”-it was one of the most wickedly funniest satires ever with the double entendres and other clever dialog...
