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 agree

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

Only joking, of course.

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?

Either but the former does give one a distinct advantage.

I suspect that the politician is evolved from lowlife scum.
