How much of the result was due to population pressure and filled social roles, and how much due to inbreeding?This does, however, illustrate where the "Secret of NIMH" came from. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
