Neanderthals 'could speak like us'

An analysis of a Neanderthal’s fossilised hyoid bone - a horseshoe-shaped structure in the neck - suggests the species had the ability to speak.

This has been suspected since the 1989 discovery of a Neanderthal hyoid that looks just like a modern human’s.

But now computer modelling of how it works has shown this bone was also used in a very similar way.

More from the BBC article on the hyoid bone and what the difference is:

The hyoid bone is crucial for speaking as it supports the root of the tongue. In non-human primates, it is not placed in the right position to vocalise like humans.

To be strictly accurate, just having the physical ability to vocalize like humans is neither necessary nor sufficient for having speech like modern humans do: there are animals such as parrots that can produce human-sounding utterances or various primates that can physically make the gestures involved in human sign languages, but they do not produce or understand utterances that are as complex and meaningful as a human speaker or signer. 

So this finding shows that Neanderthals could articulate like us, and that language among Neanderthals can’t be excluded for articulatory reasons, but does not show how much whatever they were articulating resembled modern human speech. Unfortunately, since neither speaking nor signing nor brain tissue produce fossils, this type of evidence is still some of the most useful clues that we can get about the early stages of language.
