I endorse this heuristic.
On the other hand, we mathematicians do this all the time, so this heuristic may break down outside of the history department....
Have I already mentioned the documentary about events taking places tens of millennia ago in which the presenter consistently referred to Homo sapiens sapiens and H. sapiens neanderthalensis as “us” and “them” respectively?
This is rather funny considering the best current evidence seems to indicates we have H. sapiens neanderthalensis ancestry as well.
Why do we feel the need to pick sides between two slightly different subtypes of humans before the dawn of recorded history?
I don't know about we, but I do (or so says the lab that genotyped me).
