This has been claimed for Neanderthals for quite some time, that
females would peel off, join some other group.

In the past I noted that this is similar behavior to that seen in
modern Chimps. And I even speculated on any influence trauma may
have on the habit because... why not? I like to go places that others
are afraid to go.

Neanderthals were humans. Even if you have to call them a different
species of humans they were humans. It's very likely that their
psychology mapped closely to our own.

A different, a different place... different social parameters and
a whole lot of 'Roid Rage. But nothing we would be unfamiliar with,
I would argue.

Maybe a dominant male drives away or more likely kills the love
interest of a female? Or kills a baby?

They tell us that Chimp females give birth in secret, to keep a
dominant make from ripping it to pieces... eating it.

I'm certain Neanderthals had a top/down dominant male. Some of
the DNA evidence only makes sense if one make had multiple
partners, even daughters.

Sounds brutal, animalistic, but it was true for many so called
modern human societies, Egypt chief amongst them...

But it's always present. It's never a question "if" but always
one of "to what extant?"
