Did Neanderthals have language, and if so, what was it like?
Scientists agree overall that the behaviour and cognition of
Neanderthals resemble that of early modern humans in important
ways. However, the existence and nature of Neanderthal language
remains a controversial topic. The first in-depth treatment of this
intriguing subject, this book comes to the unique conclusion that,
collective hunting is a better window on Neanderthal language than
other behaviours. It argues that Neanderthal hunters employed
linguistic signs akin to those of modern language, but lacked
complex grammar. Rudolf Botha unpacks and appraises important
inferences drawn by researchers working in relevant branches of
archaeology and other prehistorical fields, and uses a large range
of multidisciplinary literature to bolster his arguments. An
important contribution to this lively field, this book will become
a landmark book for students and scholars alike, in essence,
illuminating Neanderthals' linguistic powers.
