The discovery of a new archaic human is great, especially if they coexisted with us, but a bunch of obese 45 year old power lifters?

Middle age for these guys was mid to late teens and I doubt any of them got the chance to put on much body fat. And did they reproduce by budding? There should at least be a few young hunters in the pack.

I wonder if they've managed to get enough DNA to run.
