      They died out because they were unable to communicate at the same level as the other sapiens (us, that is) were able to. So we basically wiped em out. Humans really are not the most tolerant of life forms type of species.

    wow, what a lucky little boy.

    I remember being that age, when ever i dug a hole for some thing, i
    was always hoping i would find a dinosaur.

    Ha, i even remember my mom scamming me and my brothers,
    she wanted the soil flipped for the garden, she told us to
    look for buried arrows, then showed us where and how to do it.
