The Lougan Condition :

Neanderthals.

Science has shown they were 99.99 thousand percent Just Like Us.
Hell, I got a cousin who's 99.9 percent Sasquatch!

History has demonstrated that the GOOD people became cooks.
(That way they could stay warm by the fire.)

Technology has shown they were proficient in the use of simple tools.
ART has shown they fashioned jewellery from the bones of their ancestors...

Yep.
They're Just Like Us.
