Age-related Snoring in Homo sapiens as a Vibro-Acoustic Exaptation Enhancing Night-Time Safety (Full Article)

This full article develops the hypothesis that age-related snoring in Homo sapiens functioned as a vibro-acoustic exaptation enhancing night-time safety from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic. It expands on the previously published preprint by providing a detailed analysis of anatomical prerequisites, age-related dynamics, biophysical properties, animal behaviour, archaeological contexts (camps, caves, Neolithic houses), and modern practical applications of low-frequency vibro-acoustic signals.
