They were eaten, pure and simple. The mark from butcher hook was discovered recently on the inner surface of one of their jaw. We're still eating each other, although not literally now. At least some of us sometimes... And how often cruelly and savagely...

Oh, yes, almost forgot... About sex... Why not, after all?

This call of Nature is eternal...
