Inter-species relationships would trump all modern day male-female tribulations. The Montagues and the Capulets did not produce the first “star-crossed lovers”. The tragic love story began over 24 millenniums ago.
Neanderthal females were constantly wooed away from their primitive lifestyles by the refined Cro-Magnon males. These sophisticated gentlemen could provide a romantic fire, expensive clothes, and a cave decorated with their own art. Arriving with the smell of Mammoth Musk® cologne and a designer fur pelt pretentiously tied around their neck. It’s the same clichéd Cinderella story retold in Gary Marshall’s Pretty Woman or in the majority of John Hughes’ movies. These women were weary of the barbaric, chauvinistic, frugal standards of the Neanderthal men. They wanted to taste the finer things in life, and did what they had to do in order to land a Cro-Magnon. Now the Homo Sapien men were shunned by their family for diluting their noble blood with peasant grade fuel. In addition, these men were accused of being exceedingly lonely and desperate individuals using their advanced technologies and distinguished attributes to exploit these women into submissive housekeepers and sex toys. Now granted, the comeliness level of the Neanderthals were extremely low, but love is blind to the superficial exterior albeit beefy and unsightly. These women proved to be very faithful, nurturing companions. For what ever reasons, be it true love or opportunistic greediness. They suffered the verbal abuse and disappointment from their friends and family.
The real problems arose when a child was born. It was never accepted by either species. Same dilemma endured by mules from horse-donkey parents or half-elves in Middle Earth.
