Me, too. I wondered, even with the exchanging women bit, how they managed
to survive that long on such a limited gene pool? Must've been one heckuva
good gene pool!
Or, perhaps this is part of why they, apparently, were as susceptible to
disease as their bones indicate?

They certainly protrayed them as the more gifted tailors, anyway :)
Thanks for the message yesterday, Phillip--it didn't show here until 11
