Vendramini is making four or five separate claims:
- That Neanderthals in Europe morphed into total carnivores and apex predators, while retaining their original primate appearance (their DNA is halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee.
- That they developed huge nocturnal eyes and ice-age style fur.
- That a band of them found their way into the levant and began preying on Skhul-Qafzeh hominids, driving the later to the ragged edge of extinction.
- That this pressure caused the Skhul-Qafzehs to morph into Cro Magnons as per the punc-eek version of evolution in a very short period of time.
- That the Cro Magnons then initiated a neolithic world war and extirpated all hominids from this planet, root and branch.
As near as I can tell, the only item on that list which is not supported by evidence is the idea of the SQ hominids punk-eeking into Cro Magnons. I have a much easier time believing the SQs became extinct, the Cro Magnons got here from somewhere else, and the neanderthals finally ****ed with somebody they had no business ****ing with and paid the price for it.
