Neanderthals did speak, but FOXP2 doesn't prove it

Sverker Johansson. Behav Brain Sci. 2014 Dec.

Abstract

Ackermann et al. treat both genetic and paleoanthropological data too superficially to support their conclusions. The case of FOXP2 and Neanderthals is a prime example, which I will comment on in some detail; the issues are much more complex than they appear in Ackermann et al.
