1. A combination implant and anchor inserter (CIAIS) that enables a user to insert an adjacent mammalian bony segments fixation system (AMBSFS) between first and second adjacent bony segments, the AMBSFS including an implant and at least two mammalian bony anchors (MBA), the implant including MBA interfaces for the two mammalian bony anchors, the CIAIS including:
an implant and anchor insertion head (IAIH), the IAIH including:
an implant connection system (ICS), the ICS couplable to an implant to be fixably inserted between the first and the second adjacent bony segments;
a first insertion port sized to enable a first MBA to be inserted and stored therein;
a second insertion port sized to enable a second MBA to be inserted and stored therein;
a first ejection port coupled to the first insertion port, the first ejection port aligned with a first MBA interface of the implant when the implant is coupled to the ICS;
a second ejection port coupled to the second insertion port, the second ejection port aligned with a second MBA interface of the implant when the implant is coupled to the ICS; and
a first and a second MBA impact elements (AIE), each AIE including:
a head;
a distal section; and
an elongate shaft between the head and the distal section,
wherein the distal end is shaped to extend into an insertion port and engage an MBA base when placed adjacent thereto,
wherein the AIE distal section includes:
a proximal portion; and
a distal portion,
wherein the proximal portion has a larger cross-sectional area than the distal portion; and
wherein the distal portion includes:
 a flat, upper distal end portion; and
 a slanted inward lower distal end portion.
