The study shows that sounds such as "f" and "v", both common in many modern languages, are a relatively recent development that was brought about by diet-induced changes in the human bite.

Ummmmmmmmmmm...nope, am clueless; sadly.
I read the article, but it really doesn't have much in the way of any substanch to say at all.
Though I thought that you pinged me because it had something to say about the genetic group we are both interested in, re examples of language changes/commonality.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries
"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

In all of the piles of crap coming out of funded studies, this has absolutely got to rank at the top. There is no way on God's green earth that such a conclusion could have been reached. But then, I'm an engineer and we demand actual data......

I was first trained as an economist at an Ivy League School, and on that level I can see how it makes perfect sense simply by reading the excerpt and using my imagination to come up with an assumption or two.
I then studied Thomistic-Aristotelian Philosophy at a Seminary, learned the difference between a good and a bad argument, and on that level, I’m with you engineers in terms of demanding proof.
That said, I am extremely skeptical about your claim that this study ranks at the top of the piles of crap. There are enough studies that not only have no evidence to support, but ignore all the evidence that ought to be considered because it goes against that I’d think one of those must rank higher.
While I am very dubious about proof, this may be defensible as a theory.
