A discussion of the possibility that some folk tales from Europe were inspired by encounters with Neanderthals:https://cogniarchae.wordpress.com/2016/12/01/neanderthals-in-ancient-mythology/ …
CC: @blog_supplement Arya, how plausible do you find this? any evidence of something like this within jambudvipa?

I think this is quite plausible. There is no evidence there were Neanderthals in jambudvIpa but there were certainly other non sapiens homo
-
probably in the least Denisovans. I think these have contributed in many cultures to the concept of the near human "other": you what I mean

in our context

Maybe we can get Talageri to posit Denisovans as Dasyus and push back vedic chronology to 40k bp.

ROFL.
