FOXP2 and evolution of language















The amazing and beautiful FOXP2 gene, which is a key element in the language development of human. Check out this link for more info: http://www.evolutionpages.com/FOXP2_language.htm

It is amazing to note that the human version of FOXP2 gene differs from mouse in just three amino acids out of 715!!!  But, I think it supports the other hypothesis that when Dinosaurs were dying these rodents went underground to save the mammal chain of evolution intact and thus the rapid development of species variety in post-Dinosaur era. So, someday mouse might be able to talk! Dr. Dolittle will indeed become a reality!! I don't think I live to see that day :-(
I will satisfy myself with this Netflix advertisement in the meantime:-)
