Anthropology : Neanderthals.

 

    The reading passage insists that Neanderthals were in fact able to speak. However, the lecturer cast doubt on the points made in the reading.

    First, the lecturer argues the points made in the reading which is Neanderthals were in fact able to speak. The reading passage claims that Neanderthals had large brains so they were able to speak. However, lecturer insists that it cannot be proper evidence for supporting reading's main point.

    Second, the lecturer argues the points made in the reading which is a hyoid bone belonging to a Neanderthal was found. The reading passage claims that the hyoid bone connects the muscles between the larynx and the tongue in a large number of different ways, thereby making the likelihood of speech even greater. This proves that Neanderthals were capable of speech and that they most likely made use of this ability. However, lecturer insists that it is not directly related to reading's main point.

    Third, the lecturer argues the points made in the reading which is various muscles in their stomach regions. The reading passage claims that these muscles not only permitted them to control their breathing but also helped them create the sounds necessary for speech. However, the lecturer claims that it is not problematic.

    In conclusion, I have summarized the point made in the lecture, explaining how the lecturer cast doubt on the points made in the reading.
