I haven't been able to find a recording so I assume they never released one, but it's a cool thing to have simulated. Coincidentally, right after I read somewhere else that there was controversy over whether Neanderthals could speak until a hyoid bone was found in one of the skeletons.

Aw, man. If they really sounded like that, that's like...Abe Lincoln turning out to sound like Joan Rivers.

No, Lincoln had a shrilly high-pitched voice. I'm not sure if that's better or not.

I've heard that, but I've never actually read that. Was it noted in some biography somewhere?

Y'know, I'm not really sure where I first heard it. A Google search for "abraham lincoln voice" turns up a couple references, but that doesn't really mean anything. Hopefully, now that I said it, it won't turn out to be one of those things you always hear which aren't actually true.

This is the normal human simulation making the same sound/vowel.
