pledging ones allegiance to a cause is not usually a game of "follow the leader" and in this universe, all creations possess a head, some two, and a tail.

If the wording of my last sentence confused you, I apologize, try substituting misdirectors, for misleaders, and the word helm for lead.

If we are to live according to universal law both head and tail are necesary, without one we have chaos.

The only tools necessary for discerning Neanderthals are eyes and consciousness, I presume you have both.
