Neanderthals could speak like modern humans, study suggests

Neanderthals may have had complex language.

Quote:

An analysis of a Neanderthal's fossilised hyoid bone - a horseshoe-shaped structure in the neck - suggests the species had the ability to speak.

This has been suspected since the 1989 discovery of a Neanderthal hyoid that looks just like a modern human's.
He seems to have talked in an understandable way,however, he needs a haircut if he will stand for any studio program :)

My only question is, why did they use a picture of Chuck Norris?

I've known people who looked like certain representations of Homo Neanderthalis, and I once worked with a Mexican guy who had a very lean hatchet face. I swear he looked just like a Mayan pictogram.

I think that is disrespectful to the Neanderthals! :stare:

I agree :)

Politicians are a low lifeform species which adapt to everything very well,
and thus never die out.

Only joking, of course. :O:

Why? My only question is whether you have to be a lowlife scumbag to become a politician or if you learn it from on-the-job training? :arrgh!:

Jimbuna 12-22-13 09:28 AM

Either but the former does give one a distinct advantage.

TarJak 12-22-13 05:18 PM

I suspect that the politician is evolved from lowlife scum.

There's no reason to go around insulting the lowlife scum community like that!

Wow! So the German Military has actually bought Neanderthals back from extinction!? I know that you're not joking, because The Media told me that Germans don't have a sense of humour. And The Media is our God. Praise The Media.

Gerald 12-23-13 10:46 AM

^You nail it, the Germans' sense of humor is well known :D

Is this whole Neanderthals speaking like humans theory a possible explanation for the Kardashians, Miley Cysrus, Kanye West, et al?...
