Tolerance is not a Sapiens trademark. In modern times, a small difference in skin colour, dialect or religion has been enough to prompt one group of Sapiens to set about exterminating another group. Would ancient Sapiens have been more tolerant towards an entirely different human species? It may well be that when Sapiens encountered Neanderthals, the result was the first and most significant ethnic-cleansing campaign in history.
We are the most deadly killer on the planet. Another human species would probably not be capable of matching the ferocity or the racism that our species has shown time and time again. Because they are incapable of that...they would lose.
