Why wouldn't they learn to communicate, like all other humans do?

  For the same reason that chimps don't (contrary to some earlier work) learn language.

    Chimps have memes without language! Communication is a lot broader than just language.

    We are talking about Homo genus; I expect they had language (do we know?). The issue was communicating with others who speak a different language, and my point is that people manage it all the time.
