so it would seem that Republicanism came from another source.

Forensic reconstructions of Neanderthals have yielded people we wouldn't look twice at on any subway, just a little odd but certainly not as odd as the old National Geographic pictures in the 50s made them.

They were at least as human as we are and some anthropologists have held them up as the best of what we are.
