Funny you mention Melonheads...we were having a discussion about them a few weeks ago in this thread
thread-68635...pid1884284
"Vault-Co was like this blog, only funnier, more succinct, and more focused on things relating to prepping, like building vaults, hacking old technology to produce survival tech, and so on. But he was actually completely wiped from search engines, as if he never existed. And the Wayback machine as well.
There was only one major way he diverged from all the other survivalist/right-wing blogs. He ardently asserted that there is an ancient race of extremely tall (8-9 ft) redheaded hominids with unusually large skulls that were protruding in the back, which has existed through human history in secret, and ruled via conspiracies with regular humans, from behind the scenes. He called them Melonheads. He often pointed out articles from the past where their skeletons were found, and photographed, and produced news articles about the finds, only for the Skeletons to disappear, with nobody ever knowing what happened to them.
The theory also seemed to indicate they interbreed with humans, but that they maintain their perceptions of themselves as a sort of master race designed to manipulate the rest of us, and they control our governments to this day. He also, as part of this maintained the Neanderthals were a breed of hominid that had evolved past humans, having been culled by Ice-Age conditions, and that humans were some sort of construct of the Melonheads, designed to genocide the Neanderthals, who were the only real threat to Melonhead power.
At some point he felt the Melonheads had tried to use a pathogen to wipe out their competition but it backfired and killed most of the Melonheads off, forcing them to interbreed with humans to save their race.

Melonheads Confirmed As The Third Hominid!!!
I believed I would be vindicated by DNA testing in the near future and I was right.
People will take a long time to realize the significance of what has been uncovered here.
The third hominid is the answer to all the other questions. The third hominid is the prime mover, the essential pivot point that explains what otherwise would be a mystery about the other two.
When we ask who is the Neanderthal? Who is Homo Sapiens? We will never know the answers to those questions unless we are willing to contemplate the idea that neither one of those races was the dominant ruling class on this planet for a million years. The melonheads were.
What happened to the Neanderthals happened because they were the nearest thing to potential competitors that the melonheads had ever seen. They resolved to nip that problem in the bud and tried three different methods beginning around 120,000 years ago.
1. A genetically engineered virus designed to target Neanderthals. Failed. Mutated, backfired and killed more Melonheads and their slaves than Neanderthals. We have antibodies to this day to this supervirus, if you are of European descent you have antibodies in your system right now that would still kick in to protect you from being exposed to this virus. I hate to think what happened to the melonhead who proposed this brilliant strategy but it didn't work out correctly at all.
2. Okay, they brainstormed for a while through several generations and then they decided that Neanderthals would not survive a long term solar blackout compared with the deep refuges of the Melonheads and their monolithic structures. They detonated an implosion device in the supervolcano at Toba around 80,000 years ago. The Toba supervolcano caldera is the only one of its kind on the planet, consisting of a huge vaporized sphere that opened the eruption beneath it. The Sun was blacked out for twenty years and even the melonheads were starving by the time the surface was inhabitable again. They then discovered that the Neanderthals had been building fantastic subterranean tunnels that ran the length of Europe and reached as far as Turkey. Turns out the Neanderthals were the most incredible survivalists of all time and several decades of no summers and no sun rolled off their backs like water off a duck. The melonheads realized that after a million years of routine hibernation the Neanderthals were probably better equipped than they were to survive such an event.
3. The melonhead who suggested the drastic Toba plan probably took a long walk off a short plank and his successor knew he'd better get it right this time. They planned and researched for a long time before they made their final powerpoint presentation to the general committee. They proposed developing a new bioweapon on two legs from a mixture of their slave classes, genes from Neanderthals and some rhesus monkeys as well as some other odd junk that science still is having trouble trying to figure out how that could possibly be in our genome. The new creature would be customized for only one real purpose in life and that would be to exterminate Neanderthals one-by-one, even pursuing them into their caves on foot if necessary. They would breed like rabbits and be so regimented and autocratic they would scarcely even be called human. They would simply sweep Europe starting at the southern tip and when the job was done, all kinds of safety locks were introduced into their genetic design that would make certain they would never be able to organize themselves into anything formidable enough to challenge melonhead rule. One of these safety measures was to sever the corpus callosum between the left and right halves of the brain so that they would still be capable of very complex behaviors but would never really be able to integrate their consciousness.
The third solution worked like a charm except for one glitch. The Sapiens took the beautiful Neanderthal women as war captives and the children were made into a permanent slave caste. This became a self-reinforcing adaptive mechanism because of all the feuding Sapiens tribes it was the ones with the huge Neanderthal slave populations that easily overcame everyone else. In short order the Neanderthals were mythologized as the Tuatha De Danann and widely credited later as being the source of all craft, civilization and progress even as the Neanderthal hybrids were reduced to chattel subsistence for countless tens of thousands of years. The 'Thal was a despised creature treated with less respect than a dog, forbidden to look anyone in the eyes and likely made to sleep on the open ground outside the village at night. In the day, their clever hands manufactured weapons that were infinitely superior to those that humans could make themselves and then the 'Thals were deployed as shock troops at the start of every battle to soften up the opposition for easy conquests of tribes with no Neanderthal slaves of their own. The smartest tribes probably sent their 'Thal hounds in at night in surprise raids on other villages because their night vision was better and the 'Thal could fight extremely well at the witching hour for a variety of reasons, not least of which the projectile weapons which had originally killed them at a distance were useless in darkness. This gave rise to legends of the Neanderthals as werewolves and night spirits who were intensely feared by peoples who had no such soldiers in their own tribes.
In the modern era, all the subconscious relationships between the three groups persist to this day. Melonheads and Sapiens automatically think of the Neanderthal as their conquered servants even though their entire existence depends on his innovativeness, problem solving ability and creative energies. The Neanderthal is a kind of "living ghost" who leads a rootless, transient existence offering his labor whenever people are desperate enough to require it (which is often) in all major technical, mechanical, scientific and engineering tasks. The 'Thals either break their chains and achieve independence or else they are their brother's servant, as Isaac elegantly prophesizes to his son Esau as a metaphor in Genesis. Civilizations settle into a predictable pattern lasting roughly 200 years divided into ten generations of men. The first 100 years the Neanderthals build everything up ... and the second 100 years the melonheads and their slaves proceed to tear it all to pieces and bring it down. The net result for history is a recurring tragedy that goes nowhere and never achieves any lasting progress in anything.
The entire planet suffered some enormous upheaval around 12,000 years ago that took a huge toll on the existing social order and in the ten millennia that followed the melonheads were never able to achieve the levels of control they had previously, although pharaonic Egypt came close for a while. By the time the Romans enslaved the Greeks and started their reich the whole human population was starting to lose the brain mass they had stolen through the organized rape of the Neanderthal woman and intelligence was in sharp decline everywhere. The minor dawn of the Renaissance and Enlightenment peaked in a nadir that was the briefest yet in the history of world civilizations and it was rapidly becoming apparent that "the future" was an increasingly difficult organization to provide staffing for. The long term trend was down and back to the mud for the human gene pool and some days it looked like a race to the bottom for everyone. The only real hope for mankind was the end of the Holocene and a return to a colder planet that selected for sharper minds instead of just sharper tongues
Neanderthals built advanced cave structures over 175,000 years ago

These "primitive creatures"...
Built 6 step compression ovens to forge malleable pitch into ergonomic grips
Created complex artwork with perspective and abstract idealized representations
Had a jewelry drill that could bore perfect circles in emeralds, jade and other precious stones
Showed evidence of having constructed compound bows
Had complex funerals with religious artefacts, symbolic travel tokens and gifts for the afterlife
Wore makeup and manufactured rings, necklaces and armbands
Supported cradle-to-grave intensive nursing for the critically injured for the duration of their lives
Had a hyoid bone in their throats to produce ultrasound speech that carried on plains of snow
Had 4 extra genes connected with the muscles of the throat for hyper articulate speech
Domesticated all known species of useful animals including horses, dogs and cattle
... and now apparently built firewalls and windbreaks deep inside caverns that used central pit fires exhausted through natural chimneys to survive Ice Age temperatures.
It is amazing to me that after having discovered ample fossils of Southern Neanderthals (Denisovian & Amud) that towered over modern humans at 6 foot 2 (250 pounds, basically Arnold Schwarzenegger ) that they are still depicted as shorter than modern people and squat troll humped. What absolutely absurd rubbish. It is true that Cro-Magnons often towered over the Neanderthal coming in regularly at almost 7 foot tall but it is likely that any close quarters combat between a Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon ended with the Cro-Magnon crushed to the size of a shoebox. On the other hand, that lanky build and height would have been genetically perfect for killing a Neanderthal at a distance with a spear. The Cro-Magnon could easily win in numbers without ever coming within striking range.

Its not organized by date or anything, but alphabetized. So it's kind of hard to search for relevant articles, but lots of good info hidden in there about evolution, and the "Thals"
