I hate to burst your bubble but there is absolutly no evidence that Neanderthal clashed with modern man In fact recent DNA evidence shows that they interbred... alot.
What evidence do you need?
They existed at the same time in the same place.
Even brothers war with each other, I don't believe it was the big happy orgy you suggest.
Sorry, your ignorance did not burst my bubble.
He is correct, there is no evidence of conflict. What you offer here is supposition and speculation, not evidence.
Also Neanderthal was nothing like what is reported in Bigfoot sightings.
I disagree with you.
Neanderthals were short, Bigfoot is tall. As far a speculations on body hair goes, here is no remaining evidence, either way. There is no evidence for Bigfoot use of stone tools, and abundant evidence of Neanderthal use of stone tools. Neanderthal limbs were shorter relative to the overall body plan than in modern humans. Bigfoot legs are shorter, but their arms are longer. There is a definite morphological difference.
.Neanderthal was = in intellegence to man at that time, crafted tools. wore clothes, and painted cave paintings in caves all over Europe. so with that in mind i have to say that your theory is completly barmy.
There is evidence of tool making but clothes?Link please.
I don't have a web link handy, but some of those tools made were used to punch holes in hides. Those holes were likely made for a reason rather than just grins and giggles. The most logical reason is to pass sinew through in order to sew clothing. look up a tool called a "burin" for starters.
