And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Genesis 9:1
"An international multidisciplinary team recently published a paper
which examined Neanderthal and modern human skulls. They were trying to
answer “one of the central questions in human evolutionary studies.”
That is, whether any supposed human ancestor could speak—including the
Neanderthals.
Virtual 3-D models of the ear structures of Homo sapiens and
Neanderthals were made using CT scans. They were then tested using
auditory software to calculate the hearing abilities up to 5 KHz. This
“encompasses most of the frequency range of modern human speech sounds.”
Neanderthals’ ability closely mirrored that of modern humans.
Furthermore,
they were able to calculate the ‘occupied bandwidth’ (the frequency
range of maximum sensitivity). In humans this allows us to perceive a
wide range of acoustic signals, including consonants, crucial for fully
developed language. Here too the Neanderthals’ range was similar to
those of humans today.
The similar hearing and bandwidth of Neanderthal hearing “really is
the key,” said Mercedes Conde-Valverde. This shows that they “possessed a
communication system that was as complex and efficient as modern human
speech.”
The belief that Neanderthals were somehow more primitive is massively out of date.
Among other things, they buried their dead, made jewellery,
manufactured pitch, built domiciles outside of caves, made clothing from
animal skins, and interbred with sapiens-type humans. They were
post-Babel descendants of Noah who had the same anatomical design to
communicate as any other human." CMI
