They didn't die. But OTOH, what are the odds that the Man With No Face will get to reproduce now? The evidence of his fitness is, ahem, as plain as the nose on his face. The Guy With the Arrow Out the Back of His Head ("Hey, it didn't hit any vital organ!") is similarly marked for life.

I hope. Now the burden of proving fitness to reproduce rests on the women these guys encounter and the decisions they make about those two.

Notice something about the Darwin Awards? Heavily male. 100% in the top seven. I think the future of the human genome is in good hands, because in evolution, the sexual selection component is entirely in the hands of the female of the species. It's like I've always said, we owe everything to our womenfolk, and we get into sooooo much trouble when we forget.
