The idea is that air sacs may have played an important role in early hominid vocalizations. Many other primates have air sacs, notably chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans.

It has also been found that the anatomy of the hyoid bone of Neanderthals (the Kebara hyoid) is consistent with the absence of air sacs, while that of Australopithe...
