Basajaun: The Protective Bigfoot of the Basque Region and Its Neanderthal Origins

The video discusses the Basajaun, a cryptid hominid from the Basque region of Spain. It is described as a protector of sheep and is said to have taught early farmers how to build mills and forge metal implements. The video also explores the possibility that the legend of the Basajaun originated from Proto-Basque interactions with Neanderthals. The video includes a story of a woman who was kidnapped by the Basajaun and lived with it in a cave. The video suggests that the Basajaun may have been a long-surviving Neanderthal.
