From Howard Bobry
I have, on occasion, accused friends, family and colleagues of having “selective hearing”, but never to the degree attributed to Neanderthals in your Christmas quiz (20/27 December 2014, p 89).
You write that “there’s no evidence they could hear sounds that no known animal can make.” How sad that they never heard the roar of the ocean, or a clap of thunder.
