creative minds.

C
a desire to make art.
D

Detailed explanation-2: -The Neanderthal hyoid bone Its similarity to those of modern humans was seen as evidence by some scientists that Neanderthals possessed a modern vocal tract and were therefore capable of fully modern speech. However, recent studies show that hyoid shape is not linked to the structure of the vocal tract.
