Environmental adaptation. The other species were too adapted to the current environment at the time and could not change enough to the new conditions. The subspecies that survived were more generalists and could adapt more easily to changing conditions. Archaeic Homo Sapiens, and later HS Sapiens may not have killed off the other species, but were more adaptable and accordingly could out compete the other species for resources. The other species were marginalized and died out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:215843 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
