The common tongue of course! No... they did find some simple tools with
them and are suggested that despite their brain size (grapefruit sized
apparently) they did use tools. But language is another matter, and I'm
not sure language on our level is possible with a brain the size of a
monkey's. Some language perhaps, but I wouldn't expect anything as
complex as a natural language that's spoken by homo sapiens if I
travelled back in time. :)
