    I believe you misread, they said a high number of males with evidence of trauma. Basically a very large percentage of male skeletons showed damage. The original comment didn’t say there were no female skeletons.

    Also depending on the dig site mass graves of men killed in combat are common. Those would obviously lack women.


  • I wouldn’t say genocided per se. We have pretty significant percentages of non-homo sapien DNA. Which implies a decently high degree of inter-breeding.

    My money is on a combination of inter-breeding leading to genetic extinction through dilution, resource competition (strained by changing environmental conditions), and of course inter-group conflict.

    In this case I understand not downsizing until your kids are established with a job/place to live.

    Depending on equity and their mortgage payment it may not even be possible to downsize without paying more per month. That’s the insanity of the current market.

    Remember this is an occupied family home with an unoccupied room. Not a whole property.

    What would you suggest?

    A lot of kids move back after college. I definitely wouldn’t downsize until my family was secure and for sure no longer needed the space.

    Now the question is it better to allow that space sit vacant or rent out the space.

    I think there is a defensible position for renting out a temporarily unused space in your primary home versus buying vacant properties solely to rent.
