A connection with the Hotentots of Meridional Africa??
. Also, there was some controversy about the
Grimaldi Man, for some specialist a negroid skeleton (althoug the hotentots are a bit different from the negroids) found in the shore of the Mediterranean.
Julius Evola, in his article
Mediterranean prehistory, notes about a struggle between the Cro-Magnons and the dark people of the musterian period. For him, also in european legends there are some references to this. For example, in the irish legends, the
Tuatha dè Danann (a semi-divine race of possible septentrional origin) defeated the
Fomori, who were depicted as a darker and diabolic folk. Perhaps, this also is a remain of the contact of the more advanced Cro-Magnon with the Neanderthals.
