When Orcs Were Real - Book Proposes Neanderthals Were Not As Described

Every human culture has believed in the existence of other beings, monstrous humanoids, sapient but inhuman. They have gone by different names: boogeymen, bugbear, cyclopes, giant, jotun, ogre, oni, troll, yeti, and more. But they are always feared, lurkers in the shadows, threats to the clan, tribe, or hearth. Dungeons & Dragons didn’t create these monsters, and (despite ongoing controversies) they don’t represent anything modern. Humanity’s legendary heroes have been fighting these monsters since time immemorial.

The latter view, which suggests that the human race brutally extinguished the other sapient primates it faced, was first proposed by French paleontologist Marcellin Boule way back in 1912.

Yeah, well we still have niggers so not every other sapient primate. Or maybe they don't consider niggers to be sapient...

It's pretty clear that niggers were some other primate in Africa that a human went and fucked later, creating the half breed.

Danny Vendrimini uses evidence in the fossil record to make the following hypotheses:

1) Neanderthals were apex predators
2) Neanderthals ate humans, and even their own - cannibals
3) Neanderthals had 25% thicker bones and muscular structures - superhuman strength
4) Neanderthals walked hunchbacked and had an odd gait
5) Neanderthals has teeth 2x human teeth, larger mouths, and incredibly powerful jaws
6) Neanderthals had fur. They did not make clothes.
7) Neanderthals had very large eyes, suggesting nocturnal.
8) Neanderthals had vertically slit pupils, and possibly tapetum lucidum (cat "reflecting" eyes)
9) Neanderthals had large nasal cavities and protuberances, which suggests a "snout-like" sniffing/ sense of smell, similar to a pig or dog.
10) Large nasal cavitiy, short neck, large mouth and tongue, would seem to have little capability of reaching the complexity of "human" speech. Guttural sounds.

From his description, think a gorilla-sized creature with similar oversized legs made for walking/loping, nocturnal skills, but human thinking capabilities.

From his description,

The stuff of nightmares. If such a thing still existed, I would never leave home without my concealed 450 bushmaster 6-shooter, and would never be more than 30 feet from the bug-in 50 BMG I'd keep in my car. Holy fuck.

The wife would be complaining that the 'pour-elle' 30-06's purse holster doesn't fit her bag, but she'd learn to deal with it.

It basically describes the werewolf legends, the yeti legends, the sasquatch legends, the bugbear legends, the ogre legends, and pretty much every "be very very scared of the dark" story in history across every culture, continent and people.

They have gone by different names: boogeymen, bugbear, cyclopes, giant, jotun, ogre, oni, troll, yeti, and more.

We usually call them niggers around here.

How is it that humans of European descent still have like partial Neanderthal DNA, while niggers don't?

[ - ] Empire_of_the_Mind [op] 3 points 2.9 yearsJun 30, 2021 12:35:30 ago (+3/-0)

niggers are a different species. They have like 30% DNA contribution from an as-yet-unidentified hominid that non-Africans do not.

Nonsense. Neanderthals were human in every sense. All one has to do to realize this is look at their artifacts. They were organized, spoke language, had religious, ceremonial, and burial rites, created tools and weapons, and left remarkable art in caves in southern France and Spain. a society of "human-like" beings don't do that.

Nothing you said here contradicts the article

Let me make my point a little finer: Neanderthals were humans. They weren't "human-like". They weren't subhuman. We have so little understanding of what the Neanderthals were like, that garbage articles like this one, filled with conjecture, supposition, and mostly asspull fantastic nonsense, flourish because of the absence of solid information. But for some reason, based on almost no information, what little we have is re-imagined and interpreted in the stupidest and most ridiculous ways, especially when delusions "cultural anthropologists" try to ascribe behavior and cultural traits. It can't be done. They just need to admit they don't know what they're talking about. Just as bad are the bone diggers and the masters of caliper, the "physical anthropologists", who also, with nearly no information, try to "reconstruct" what they think the average Neanderthal looked like. Much of that, again, is just conjecture, which is heavily influence not on anything scientific but on the preferences and biases and cultural ideas of the anthropologist.

As soon as any real science comes into play in this discussion, I'll entertain it. But for now, all of this is about as scientific as The Book of Mormon.

I'll only read a book that's banned on amazon
