Stating this as a fact is wrong, it's conjecture, and very dubious at that. In fact a few seconds research and common sense would undermine that. There are legends of giants in africa <https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/gigantes/Africa.html https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/gigantes/Africa.html> but the range of Neanderthals included that, see "Known Neanderthal range in..." in map here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal>
> The witch craze was due to ergot poisoning etc.
Ditto, and even less likely if you've done any reading. I think you've badly mixed up two things here.
Baseless but over-confident statements of 'fact' are getting annoying. Please try to elevate the conversation (unless you are, ahem, trolling).
