I had read years ago that in biblical days, many times the people with birth defects and such were cast out of the communities, and that they had gone to live in caves (and probably propagated).........and that those were the skeletons that have been found. I don't know that it's true, but it would answer a few questions about the 'cave men', wouldn't it?

If "cave men" were nothing more than deformed humans, you would find many more "non-deformed" humans than "deformed" humans from the same time period. Guess what, there were no modern humans back then.
or many years before "biblical days" people had no shelter construction skills and took shelter where they found it. Diggin holes in hillsides, pulling branches over themselves or finding a natural pocket somewhere.
In "biblical days" I think you're suggesting 2000 years ago. People were carving out cliffs in many parts of the world, man-made caves go back way before your "biblical days" The Pyramids and Temples of South America are already pushing near your 6000 year old Earth theory.
And what you call "the people with birth defects and such" is what we looked like then, way to diss your ancestors
Having a slightly bigger* brain than ours is a birth defect?
I guess to Rapturites it would be a defect to be smarter than today... They would not be as able to stay as ignorant as they want to be.
*Yeah, I know, the possibly bigger brains in Neanderthals probably didn't mean they were smarter than us, only different. Can't I have a bit of fun with the Rapturites? Please?
Speaking as someone with a birth defect, this is blatant bullshit. Forgive me, Ms. Mendel (I sound like an 'internet tough guy' when I say this), if I want to hunt you down, cut off your set of male genitals which I am certain you have - being the inbred, hyper-religious hick cunt that you are - stick them up your fucking arsehole after wrapping them in barbed wire, and then brutally stab you a dozen times in the head before throwing your diseased corpse to a pack of wild piranha, you scum-sucking, fetid, fecund, vile, reprehensible, unworthy-of-life, subhuman cunt.
Now that felt good!

The disabled were cast out as soon as they were discovered, unless they were lucky enough to be born to a family that could afford them AND was sympathetic to them. Which wasn't likely back then.
I would argue the pendulum has swung a bit far the other way, with people spending every dollar they have and a lot they don't to save anencephalic or otherwise doomed babies that won't make it their first week, let alone first year. But that's a whole 'nuther issue.
And in your case, kathy, when you were being born, they should've thrown you away, and kept the afterbirth. It would be infinitely more intelligent than you.

And if fundies don't want to be considered inferior subhumans, the solution's simple: stop being fundies.
Yes, if "biblical days" was at least 30 000 years ago, as that is the youngest Neanderthal that has ever been found.
If you are thinking of Australopithecus, then "biblical days" must be at least 2 million years ago.
Edit, damn, I had already commented on this one...
Also, who was casting or shunningout the deformed or different, even killing them at birth? It's a very Abrahamic religion trait, y'know.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
