We Are IF writes “There have been many human type cryptid creatures from elves and fairies to orcs and trolls.
In story and legends, these entities are often in conflict with man and man is often the victor. Could these myths and legends have a grounding, in reality, did modern homo-sapiens eradicate other types of human that were in competition with them?
Could these other types of human-inspired legends and did we kill all the other species of human?”

I guess natural selection ends when self loathing begins.

I guess we have to apologize for our Homo Sapiens privilege now too. Everybody kneel for the fallen hobbit people.

This is all a Modern Explanation of these feral People.
There are only 2 Manner of Humans on the Planet.
The sloping Foreheaded ” Pre Human ” People who the Native Americans call the Sasquatch People.
And the High Foreheaded Modern Humans. ( of ALL Colors )
IF they have a Sloping Forehead ? Then they are all of the same Manner.

Did you know from a Fossilized Footprint that came from a Cave in Italy of Neanderthal Man proved it also had the Midtarsal Break across the center of its Foot – just like the Sasquatch People do ?
So if they both have a Sloping Forehead , and They both have a Midtarsal Break across Their Feet ? Wouldn’t they Both be of the same Kind ? The Same MANNER ?

Sasquatch-Neanderthal interbreeding could account for a midtarsal break in the Neanderthal found in Italy. Or a long dormant gene could reemerge in stressful mountainous terrain.
Modern humans exterminating any and all hominid species we could find and kill seems to be why only the Sasquatch remain. They were/are big enough, strong enough, fast enough, stealthy enough, and smart enough to survive untold numbers of encounters with us. Any predator species on land that is still around, must be among the best of the best. Mother nature has always experimented with bigger, faster,stronger, smarter, and stealthier versions of existing designs. One could argue that mother nature is accelerating the evolution of sapien-sapien and is in the process of “The Birth of an Unknown Species”.
