I guess the evidence would come in the history of areas or sites where one group displaced another, perhaps leaving signs of a takeover. I have seen documentaries discussing the differences of the species, and how ours wasn’t the physically stronger, but our brain enabled us to plan and communicate better in a conflict or attack. I don’t know if that was based on evidence or just speculation using the characteristics we know of the two species.
Nothing concrete I don’t think. But we do have many thousands of years of racial violence in our collective history so it’s not a huge leap of a guess.
We have evidence of interbreeding, but how much evidence do we have of violence between humansnand neanderthals?
Iirc there are no Neanderthal Y-chromosomes left, but there are X-chromosomes, suggesting we killed the males & took the females
This… doesn’t really match my understanding.
IIRC there wasn’t any real trend. Men and women of either species interbred.
