Danny Vendramini believes that Neandertals were nocturnal predators that almost hunted humans into extinction. He also believes they looked like this: "One of the forensic reconstructions of Homo neanderthalensis commissioned by Vendramini, based on his extensive research on Neanderthal physiology and ecology" Note the vertical pupils, like a cat! Who is Danny Vendramini? Nobody really interesting afaik: from his website "Danny Vendramini was born in Alice Springs, in the Australian outback. He had successful careers in a number of fields – as a theater director, TV producer and award-winning film director and scriptwriter – before turning to evolutionary biology." Here's so more nonsense from his very slow-loading website: "Vendramini demonstrates that the optical orbits (eye sockets) of Neanderthals were considerably larger than humans. He theorizes Neanderthals evolved these extra large eyes because, like most mammalian predators, they were nocturnal hunter. Slit-shaped pupils are better suited to the eyes of nocturnal primates (right) because they can close down tighter, preventing damage to their super-sensitive eyes from strong sunlight. NP theory argues that, like modern nocturnal predators, Neanderthals had slit-shaped pupils to protect them from snow blindness." "Neandertals were such devastating predators that "this prolonged period of cannibalistic and sexual predation began about 100,000 years ago and that by 50,000 years ago, the human population in the Levant was reduced to as few as 50 individuals.The death toll from Neanderthal predation generated the selection pressure that transformed the tiny survivor population of early humans into modern humans. This Levantine group became the founding population of all humans living today." Here's another very scientific picture of Vendramini's orc/gorilla Neandertals. NSFW just because there's ambiguous Neandertal genitalia: https://i.imgur.com/dVQNxPJ.jpg He doesn't explain why he thinks they were muscled like gorillas or covered in shaggy black hair. Presumably he does in the book but I'm not buying it.  "If you’re disturbed by these images, there’s a good reason for it. Like other prey species, humans have an innate capacity to recognize our natural predator. What Neanderthals ‘felt’ like is hardwired into our genes. Neanderthal predation was so traumatic that even 28,000 years after the last Neanderthal disappeared, they can still push our buttons." Flavius Aetass posted:I feel like that says a lot more about Danny Vendramini than Neanderthals It is...not difficult at all to see a bunch of racist bs in this theory, yeah.
