    With that humans possibly gone extinct due to diseases introduced on that timeline. On the other hand the time travellers just bought a new disease to the current timeline.

    They should probably try to fix the issues that caused the population to vote for him.

    It never about “fixing” or “killing” individuals, but about systems that do not work for some people.

      Interwar Germany wasn’t meant to work. It was a collective punishment over a war the entire nobility of Europe jumped into with all the fervor of a kid with a new wargame.

    I kind of think about things like this a lot because of my family. My mom’s parents were amazing. My mom was amazing. Her brother… total asshole. My dad’s parents - especially his mom - were beyond awful. Out of 6 kids, only 2 turned out good, and 1 was my dad. He’s told me so many times over the years how he swore he’d never be like his parents. I’ve wondered before how things might have turned out of my maternal grandparents had been awful and my paternal ones good. I wonder how things would have changed.

    The line leading to Homo sapiens went extinct that day after trying to have peace talks with the much more aggressive neanderthal ancestors.

      “neanderthal ancestors”, “that day”, “peace talks”

      you need to read about Neanderthals.

      Neanderthals never met ancestors of homo sapiens those apes in the strip seem to represent.

      they’re probably assimilated and not killed to extinction in a war

          yes, according to researchers, they did meet homo sapiens and interbred

          The oldest potential Neanderthal bones date to 430,000 years ago

          Anatomically modern humans emerged around 300,000 years ago in Africa, evolving from Homo heidelbergensis or a similar species.

          The date of divergence of Neanderthals from their ancestor H. heidelbergensis is also unclear.

          my thinking was that if both homo sapiens and Neanderthals evolved from “h. heidelbergensis” than Neanderthals met h. sapiens but not their “ancestors”
