Episode 5 – Human Speech
From Great Apes to Modern Day Humans — What differences make us capable of speech?
This week I’m talking about our understanding of how humans differ genetically in order to have acquired speech, and how that understanding has changed based on current research.
https://ia601500.us.archive.org/13/items/WABEpisode5/WABEpisode5.mp3
Here are the links to the articles I discuss:
1. A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder
2. Molecular evolution of FOXP2, a gene involved in speech and language
3. The Derived FOXP2 Variant of Modern Humans Was Shared with Neandertals
4. No Evidence for Recent Selection at FOXP2 among Diverse Human Populations
