Perhaps,
Just as Western European diseases almost wiped out pre-Columbian peoples of America,
so might infections carried northwards out of Africa by invulnerable, smooth-skinned Homo pseudo-sapiens,
wiped out their colder-climate enemies, partners, pals,
the hairy, sensitive Neanderthals.
On the other hand,
the reason might have been hormonal:
Sapiens was (and is)
super-testosteronal.
