One thought on “Research in English (Linguistics) A session 6: May 27th, 2011”

  1. I was surprised to know the big difference between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, becasue I thought both of them had been almost the same. I did not know Homo sapiens might have had their linguistic system(language). I learned Homo sapiens had been different from Neanderthals in having had the ability to plan carefully. So, I realized what a big influence languages have on the way of thinking!
