I\'ve also heard it that modern man won out because they developed trade -- which, in turn, promotes \'\'individual\'\' specialization. Yes, they were bigger and (supposedly) smarter than we were, but they all focused on being [[TheMario Marios]], but they lost out because we became more specialized as individuals, but more diverse as a group -- making our species TheMario and theirs the MasterOfNone. How does that fit in to CripplingOverspecialization? Would neanderthals have been overspecialized as subsistence hunters, or something?
