Oh, I get its hard to say "well established" - not sure the right way to put that as anything from 40k years ago is difficult, at best.

Is it accepted within the communities that studies such things that Neanderthals had a lower reproduction rate than homo sapiens? (Sounds like it is).

Lol, your description of HS reproduction - I'll be quoting that!
