Neanderthals speak out after 30,000 years

Talk about a long silence - no one has heard their voices for 30,000 years. Now the long-extinct Neanderthals are speaking up - or at least a computer synthesiser is doing so on their behalf. We have the sound files.

Interesting link Sarah. I always assumed Neanderthals just grunted and these folks who took the trouble to figure out our predecessor's voice-box 30,000-some years later deserve kudos.

Heh, can you imagine one of these low-brows singing in the shower? Yikes!
