    Wait, I am stupid. Does that mean that many men died, and only few procreated? And assuming the birth rates are the same, why wouldn’t there be women skeletons? After all, everyone dies, whether in a fist fight over who gets to have sex at 14 or of cancer at like 70?

      Actively bludgeoned by another tribe and then thrown in a pit. These are young men, I should add

      They are not killed, but captured and carried away as spoils of war to the conquering tribe
