Nope, this not a recording of a goat. But I know my goat sounds, and that really sounded like a goat. I know, but, trust me, it’s not.
That recording, according to this article, is a simulation by an archaeologist at some Florida institution of higher learning (on a Casio CZ-101 I think) of what a Neanderthal might sound like if he/she said the English letter “e.”
Ah, the burning questions that drive scientific exploration. I wonder what Ponce de Leon would have sounded like speaking Swahili through a synthesizer? Or what Cleopatra might have sounded like having an orgasm in French (through a synthesizer, of course)?
This Florida archeologist is now working on synthesizing an entire Neanderthal sentence…if the Neanderthal spoke English…and was working on the latest Kanye beat. I think he’s taking suggestions for what the sentence should be. Any thoughts?
