"Neanderthals, says Steven Mithen of Reading
University, may have spoken a more musical, tonal language, a mix of
cooing and keening, singsong beats, accompanied by gestures. Chip Walter
likes to think that in their speech, and early on with their burial
practices, they may have been a touch "more softhearted than we are,"
but we really don't know."
I think certain things sound right thought there was a deeper relationship involved
Two cultures met and stared at each other for a long time to be sure
We had gotten this far by being careful both of us this we know
Tending to run and ask questions later in the face of danger
We did many things similar and there were very few differences
Tending to be one the apparent victor harder made softer in the core
Of the two groups we look a bit more like one; they entered their heart
There were others and mostly forgotten stories to be recalled
