Neanderthals could speak like modern humans, study suggests

[Gerald]

Neanderthals may have had complex language.

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
