The case of Neanderthal language(s): a multidisciplinary approach

2023-06-27

Abstract excerpt

<p>As with other aspects of their cognitive and behavioral phenotype, the language abilities of Neanderthals are a controversial issue. In this paper, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach to this evolutionary problem and revisit most of the available evidence of the Neanderthal biology, cognition, and behavior to hypothesize about the type of languages Neanderthals might have spoken. We also build on our knowledg...
