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

After chatting with a few kids hanging outside a local high school, it’s a plausible theory.

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

Neandertals had larger brains than ‘modern’ man.

it is a shame that no Neanderthal libraries survived. They would be an academic treasure.

Ironic; Neanderthals talked like us, and now we speak like Neanderthals.
What’ old is new again.

The headline is a bit misleading; while there were humans with proto-Neanderthal traits as early as 600,000–350,000 years ago, Neanderthals as such didn’t exist until approximately 135,000 years ago.

This is a very poorly written article. This article is very poorly written. Very poorly written is this article. Very poorly this article is written. Written very poorly, this article is.

It seems to me that I knew this. Wouldn’t there be physical and brain changes that evolved along with growing language use? That takes a long time. As long as we’re speculating anyway.
