Yesterday I watched the critics on YouTube of what Danny Vendramini says in Them and Us: How Neanderthal Predation Created Modern Humans. I don’t know if Vendramini still lives in Australia (his website is defunct). At any event, it’s very easy to debunk these “debunkers”.
One of them tried to refute Vendramini’s claim that Neanderthals had fur by arguing that fur can fossilize, and the Neanderthal remains found do not show fossilized fur. What the YouTuber omitted is that this, fossilized fur, rarely happens, so only if the remains of a mummified Neanderthal were ever discovered would we know who is right: the orthodox view of the Neanderthal as furless, or Vendramini.
More than one YouTuber claimed that Vendramini’s statement that Neanderthals evolved in Ice Age Europe was false and that the climate then was similar to that of Europe today.
These “debunkers” haven’t even read the Wikipedia page on Neanderthals and other hominids, which tells us that the origin of Neanderthals dates back to the Mindel Ice Age (between 400,000 and 350,000 years ago), during which climate change and the rise of the Arctic ice cap apparently forced European populations of H. heidelbergensis to seek refuge from the cold on the continent’s southern peninsulas. These migrations isolated H. heidelbergensis populations, inducing a population bottleneck and favouring speciation. By the end of the Ice Age, heidelbergensis populations had already begun to acquire Neanderthal traits. Finally, between 230,000 and 200,000 years ago, H. heidelbergensis had acquired enough physical range to be differentiated into a new species, Homo neanderthalensis.
A YouTuber misrepresented Vendramini by omitting that his bottle-neck theory only referred to our Skhul-Qafzehs ancestors of the Levant, not to other hominids in other parts of the globe (insofar as the latter didn’t clash with the Neanderthals). Another YouTuber misrepresented what Vendramini said, that Neanderthals belonged to the group of primates, as if implying that Vendramini was unaware that Homo sapiens was also a primate—a clear straw man since Vendramini never implied that! He also said that Neanderthals and early humans probably became best friends, good neighbours. I could mention other wishful thinking arguments, strawmen and misrepresentations from YouTubers but I will limit myself to saying that the final straw came when these “debunkers” showed Neanderthal and human skulls side by side on their own cameras.
Anyone not infected with the kind of egalitarianism that wants to make us see niggers as brethren will see with his own eyes the enormous differences between the two skulls. I couldn’t believe what I was watching in the “debunkers'” videos…
For example, although the visual impact is that we are looking at another species, one that looks more like an evolutionised ape (see the protuberances above the eye sockets and the great occipital elongation), these YouTubers were claiming, by posting images like the one above in their own videos, that Neanderthals were humans like us! Of course, not a word came from the lips of these “debunkers” about the fact that Neanderthals had eye sockets much higher than ours.
The “debunkers” also didn’t say a peep regarding another of Vendramini’s observations: that Neanderthals had larger eyes than ours.
To grotesquely insult our intelligence, one of the main “debunkers” included this image of… a purported Neanderthal girl several times throughout his video!
Another of the “debunkers” had no choice but to acknowledge that throughout Europe multiple caves have been found whose remains prove that Neanderthals were cannibals. But he was quick to exonerate them by claiming that Homo sapiens had also eaten human flesh. This reminded me once again of how anthropologists, so imbued with the precept of loving one’s neighbour, write about the “noble savage” while idealising infanticidal cultures (see the delirious cases I compiled on this subject in my Day of Wrath).
Many other things the “debunkers” alluded to in their videos, such as whether Neanderthals could sew or use flowers at their funerals, can be answered simply by reading the Wikipedia page on Neanderthals—taking into account that Wikipedia is aligned with these YouTubers’ anti-white agenda. A calm reading of that Wikipedia article puts in its place the exaggerations the YouTubers had to resort to in their eagerness to dismiss Vendramini’s Neanderthal Predation theory.
Forget the YouTubers. They’re white trash. Only when academia returns to the hands of scholars who don’t hate the white man (and that would only happen after a revolution) can Vendramini’s work be valued on its own merits.
For the moment, that’s impossible.

By coincidence, I was evaluating some of the “debunkers” myself yesterday on YouTube. I took particular umbrage at the arrogant under-15-minute (the first few minutes are waffle) lowbrow presentation of the fat, long-haired, shifty-looking ‘Italian’ non-white Raffaello Urbani on his Metatron channel. He started out by slandering those subscribed to NP theory as being ‘terminally online’, ignoring the existence of the published book by Vendramini it seems, and suggesting in his title that we are ‘delusional!’.
Spending no more than a few seconds on each segment, I struggled to see how he was ‘debunking’ and not merely sharing his deep-seated personal incredulity with a wave of a dismissive hand – he repeatedly says “this is crazy!” without making any effort to defend why that is. As for the crux of his argument, that these early proto-humans would have existed everywhere, including Africa, and thus could not have been exterminated consistently by Neanderthals, it’s a point Vendramini acknowledges himself, on page 111 of Them and Us where he suggests he’s dealing with this particular branch of Skhul-Qafzeh humans in the Levant around 80,000 years ago as they are our direct ancestors, and that they are indeed missing from the fossil record for 30,000 years.
When Urbani calls a group of 50 or so humans and their descendants pushing back “totally insane!” he does us a great disservice, as if he had not acknowledged the shift to hyper-aggression and warlike survival traits in the Cro-Magnon that Vendramini covers at length. It felt doubtful to me listening that he had even read the book.
“Just apply reason and logic for a moment!” Urbani insists haughtily, in the very same video where he displays a Neanderthal child as looking human-like, with blue eyes (!), a development not seen in human evolution until the mutation in the OCA2 gene perhaps 17,000 years ago, as even William Pierce himself has remarked on, let alone Evropa Soberana: blue eyes are not seen in pre-Aryan European races, but brown eyes are indeed found in most wild animals, including all other primates.
I could go on but the entire video’s very wearisome… the thought struck me listening to him that it was as if Urbani himself was trying to compensate somewhat for his evident physical subhumanity, desperate with that liberal flourish that they (and thus he) are just like us.
I found it – just this one example from hordes of big ego amateur idiots – entirely unconvincing.
It was precisely Raffaello Urbani I had in mind when I wrote “white trash”.
I know he’s not Nordic. But since most of the racial right considers people like him, who speak fluent English to be “white”, I included him under that label.
It’s incredible that he uses the image of the girl as a Neanderthal reconstruction after the skulls he himself showed in his video. But that’s the level of media madness we’re exposed to, sometimes even from academics.
And thank you for what you recently sent me!
