Those guys were likely all sopranos due to the position of their voice box in their throats - and very likely because of that talked in tones, or perhaps more correctly, sang tones to communicate.
There’s an example on line but its on my other HD which is connected to an other PC which is off so you’ll have to look.

“ humanity’s greatest inventions, such as spanakopita and TikTok.“
Yeah ok, well maybe if you work at the NYT you might think this as ridiculous as it is.

They thought they could co-exist with Cro-Magnon.Astute post.

“Article also goes on to state that they had the possibility to speak.”
There’s actually a hypothesis that the Basque language is the remnant of the Neanderthal’s language, which would explain why it doesn’t appear to be related to any other language family.

Are you saying they spoke with New Jersey accents? Bada Bing.
To: Migraine
I thought so too; but so many people would have objected to a sentence ending in ‘we’.
Maybe if they’d written, ‘much as we’...

I knew some one would bring that up. No, not those Sopranos, but the singing sort :)

If a Soprano sings then they sleep with the fishes.

Do we know what Cro-Magnon would look like today? I think he was much more handsome...

And then add “do”. “Much as we do.”

I don’t expect contemporary college graduates - who are mostly barely on the level of the high school graduates of my day - to go that far.
I believe in getting what you can under current circumstances, even if it isn’t ideal.
