In the three part image of Gorilla, Neanderthal skulls - the image with the gorilla head does NOT show a gorilla skull.

This is what a Gorilla skull looks like - note the sagital crest, laking in both your posted image and in Neanderthals.

The whole of the Danny Vendramini premise is based on a fallacy, and further compounded by assumptions.

Eight inches of fur? Why not seven or eight and a quater inches? An assumption based on fur some other animals had. Just a wild guess with no facts.

Neanderthals made flutes which have holes - how did they make the holes if they had no way to drill through items?

Just because something has not been found or recognized does not mean it did not exist.

An ape with a spear who had a much greater crainal capacity than any of us modern types. A so-called ape who hung around for 200,000 years - more than we can say - twice as long, if one includes Homo Heildelbergenis as part of the Neanderthal family.

Danny Vendramini's site shows a Neanderthal skull inside a Chimpanzee's facial profile for illustration purposes to show the fit, which is substantially better than with a human profile and in fact "scientists" typically show Neanderthal and a few other hominid skulls looking down at their feet so as to appear not to have muzzles (they had em) while Vendramini's artist draws them the way they actually looked:

That's without the ice-age fur coat for illustration purposes, courtesy www.themandus.org.

The muzzle and the lack of low-back arching to stand upright comfortably were real. The fur coat was real and in fact nothing would have lasted fifteen seconds in the European ice age without it. Every Neanderthal who ever lived past eight or ten (maturity for an ape) had some sort of a "tool kit" i.e. a little bag of scrapers, cutters, hand axes, spear points and the like; in all those millions of tools, nobody has ever found a needle although Cro Magnon needles are common. That's right, a creature with a 6 - 8 inch fur coat doesn't NEED needles or clothing.

That's right, between you and Danny Vendramini, the expert on Neanderthals is Danny Vendramini, and not you. You might want to check out the list of references for that book of Vendramini's, and see if you think you could add anything to it:

The ONLY part of Vendramini's thesis which doesn't really work is the part about SK hominids punk-eeking into Cro Magnons (modern humans). Evolution turns out to be a bunch of bullshit and Danny Vendramini is too smart to remain an evoloser much longer, and most likely won't.
