Kebara 2 was the first Neanderthal specimen for which the hyoid bone was preserved, a bone found in the throat and closely related to the vocal tract. Its anatomy was virtually identical to a modern one, leading the excavators to controversially suggest that Neanderthals had at least part of the physical requirements for speech.
The hyoid bone was also preserved, and was the first Neanderthal hyoid bone found. [3] The Kebaran culture is named after the site. See also. Archaeology in Israel;
The discovery of a modern-looking hyoid bone of a Neanderthal man in the Kebara Cave in Israel led its discoverers to argue that the Neanderthals had a descended larynx, and thus human-like speech capabilities. [9] However, other researchers have claimed that the morphology of the hyoid is not indicative of the larynx's position.
A 45,000-year-old bone is giving us some news about a 50,000-year-old encounter. Look, we can't play it any other way, this story is about sex. And science. Scientists are trying to figure out ...
Lieberman's findings have subsequently been debated, especially in light of newer fossil discoveries and re-analyses. The 1983 discovery of a Neanderthal hyoid bone—used in speech production in humans—in Kebara 2 is almost identical to that of humans, which could suggest Neanderthals were capable of speech. Still, it is not possible to ...
The bones were determined to be up to 47,500 years old. Until now, the oldest Homo sapiens remains from northern central and northwestern Europe were about 40,000 years old.
Scientists have long known that our Neanderthal ancestors buried their dead. But new research show some may have butchered the bodies for food instead. Neanderthal bones show signs of cannibalism
Purported Neanderthal bone flute fragments made of bear long bones were reported from Potočka zijalka, Slovenia, in the 1920s, and Istállós-kői-barlang, Hungary, [135] and Mokriška jama, Slovenia, in 1985; but these are now attributed to Cro-Magnons.
