I have never--for a minute--believed what the academics have claimed for years: that our language acquisition was recent.

I’m equally skeptical concerning early assessments that the Neanderthals were cognitively inferior. For one thing, none of them were Democrats.

it is a shame that no Neanderthal libraries survived. They would be an academic treasure.
To: Pharmboy
Ironic; Neanderthals talked like us, and now we speak like Neanderthals.
What’ old is new again.
