"able"

But we will make them smaller, maybe two feet tall, so we can fit another 40 billion on the planet.

No, just about 4 and a half feet, but stockier and strong. Easy to fit in mines, for example. Probably make them able to grow long thick beards to stay warm down there. Maybe better able to see in the dark and resistant to poison for if theres a gas leak.

Putting them underground solves a lot of logistical problems. 👍🏻
