Danny Vendramini's Neanderthals Predation theory/book

Rogan discussed this theory years back. I’m late. The Why Files did a very popular episode on the book. The author seems to have vanished.
It’s 100% written in the conventional Darwinian humans evolved from monke standards. Outside of that – I enjoyed this so much I went and got the book.

He presents – Neanderthals NASTY – strong, killer, misrepresented as “mostly us.” Has them come out of the north into the middle east and find proto-humans there delicious for food and sex. Credits this event as the trigger to explain the “upper paleolithic revolution/creative explosion” of “behaviorally modern” humans.
I assume he will cover many of my questions/quibbles as in the first ¼ of it he already has addressed quite a few I had going in.

“basic theory being that the unique and atypical traits that set humans apart from all other primates are the result of an evolutionary bottleneck that occurred in the Near East around 110-45,000 years ago as a result of primitive early humans encounter with a highly intelligent predatory hominid; the Neanderthal.”

Why Files decent recap

hm, interestingly, can we see us and them, as kind Cain vs Abel analogy?

someone on some fakebook comment made some interesting remark about Gobekli Tepe as older than enelolith, through more than interesting analogy

  • There the Neanderthals had their religious empire’s city, that humans finally destroyed and buried to prevent the return of the human eaters that ate us as food. Everything about them had to be destroyed, some could not break or scar the stones, but they could bury it, they pushed some down then elected to simply bury it all like a big grave of the cannibals. Humans had rocks or sticks to use, Neanderthals were more than a match for any five humans, using human leg bones as weapons.

if so then those eaters came from another dimension, or more probably were visited from another dimension, when it was given to them some gifts from the’ bag [1][1] what tho it could had have been as well vice versa, i.e. we survived coz we’ve got knowhow for making copper, the golden fleece myth but as paleolithic instead bronze age knowhow, which reemerge later in bronze age yet again, i.e. it was kept secrete or got lost and resurfaced yet again!?, indeed if “humans” had have copper would easily overpower whatever bio’obstacle later, yeah could some transmutation or commutator knowhow along the copper drop from the bags!?, assumption made easily as axiom once we’ve accept KlausS claims about Gobekli Tepe where he found copper tools “One piece appeared to be a copper alloy” [2][2]

now, in this kind of lets say ultra speculative probability, we need eventual correlation to some otherworldly probability, that some similar to them still exists, or maybe as frozen someone tried to revive them!?, the urban legends surrounding the movie predator comes to mind [3][3] hm giants here would excluded from this kind of assuming equation, tho we could also add them as variable!, hm, can we transform also in such creatures if our offspring is salted with boost of particular genes!?, the x-man hype comes to mind as supersoldiers eugenicist hype!, hm, to this we need only to salt up this juggling with Jumanji alike portaling to paleolith and voila we can grasp what kind of animals were wandering around then!?, altho all this logic could be also seen as spiritual projecting in Cromagnon, i.e. in the clash between Neanderthals and Cromagnons we can resemble angelic siding inbetween …

hm, resistance is futile if dont master thermal camouflage :slight_smile:

well, well, well The Near East… hmmm

Chris Stringer (in his 2011 book Lone Survivors): “One of the oft-made comments about paleoanthropologists is that there are more of them than there are of the bones and skulls they study.”
