Nothing concrete I don’t think. But we do have many thousands of years of racial violence in our collective history so it’s not a huge leap of a guess.
I guess the evidence would come in the history of areas or sites where one group displaced another, perhaps leaving signs of a takeover. I have seen documentaries discussing the differences of the species, and how ours wasn’t the physically stronger, but our brain enabled us to plan and communicate better in a conflict or attack. I don’t know if that was based on evidence or just speculation using the characteristics we know of the two species.
We have evidence of interbreeding, but how much evidence do we have of violence between humansnand neanderthals?

Iirc there are no Neanderthal Y-chromosomes left, but there are X-chromosomes, suggesting we killed the males & took the females
This… doesn’t really match my understanding.
IIRC there wasn’t any real trend. Men and women of either species interbred.
