I was really excited to visit the Musée de l’Homme, especially after having taken the NBB 201 class combining both neuroscience and anthropology! In the museum, I listened to an audio that mimicked the vowel and consonant sounds of Neanderthals and then compared them to humans. I also learned that Neanderthals had a similarly sized Broca/Wernicke’s area to humans! It was fascinating to look at everything in the museum. I usually don’t try to read every word at a museum, but I was particularly interested in this one so that I could learn about the distinct differences and similarities in humans and Neanderthals.
