That's a big factor that people always forget.manlets also eat less and consume less resources than larger dudes in war water and food become important

Better underpants tooNeanderthals are manlets who would whoop regular sized humans today:
That was also a major factor but that again is apart of the unit cohesion and formations.Also I suspect simply better training, a standing army of trained soliders against armies of farmers.
No you can't hehehe silly ManletI'm short. I can kill you to prove a point. If you wish.
Exactly. But now give the 6'2" guy a 9' spear too. And you know how the shorter guy always has to eat the first shot in boxing to move inside and get his own shots going? I imagine it being the same way, only the manlet is eating a spear to the head instead of a jab.. Wouldn't the reach disadvantage get the manlet killed every time?
Weapons would be one obvious answer but the one i think of as the most important is a cultures cosmology, tribal cultures weren't nearly as brutal or violent in most cases as any of the "civilizations" that came after them, look at how the germans turned out after they became cultured, and look at how the spaniards wiped out the aztecs and mayas with small numbers, totally different ideas about the world.You look at the Romans, and they're 5'6" men fighting against German savages that are 6'+ and 180-200 lbs. You look at Japan, and they're like 5'3", so it's just like how did they have these amazing armies? How did the Romans beat down guys with a 50+ lb weight advantage and 8+ inches of reach on them?

Tools.
Weapons are tools.
Organization helps too.
Well firstly all of humanity was significantly shorter back in the day, second in war or in a fight to death weapons get used.
I mean I get some of you love MMA and get way too into it but in reality a larger man is also a larger target.
A weapon will slice or stab through you no matter how big you are, an arrow can fucking kill animals who are immensely stronger than any human man.
You got 200 Alpha bros with weapons but they have no organisation and no real skill with said weapons vs 200 manlets with incredible organisation and insane skills with their weapons, "alphas" gonna get massacred.
Like do you really think in ancient war people would just run into each other and have 1v1 fights like in some video game? Also Numbers are very important.
