Ya know, it does make you wonder if there is something living in the caves. Hell, maybe even a race of humans who have been there for dozens of generations. I mean we've seen it in the Amazon rainforest. Why couldn't it happen in caves too? Hell, most caves have never even been seen much less explored.
I'm just saying it's an idea that's not completely out of left field.
What if the neanderthals never went extinct they just fled from humanity underground? It'd be cold underground that could cause mutations for things like hair/fur to keep in body heat to be beneficial and an evolutionary advantage. Or possibly just clothes made of animal skin. It's a possible explanation for bigfoot and could also explain why despite so many sightings it remains so elusive.
This is an interesting theory. God I'm still mad YouTube made it nigh impossible to find conspiracy videos through search. Sometimes I like to zone out to some good conspiracy theories. There were some really good videos on there too. Entire 1.5 hour long documentaries with TV level production quality that was made by one or two guys with a passion. Literally hundreds if not thousands that are now basically gone :feels_lain_man:
