<i>SRGAP2</i> and the gradual evolution of the modern human language faculty

2017-05-28

Abstract excerpt

In this paper we examine a new source of evidence that draws on data from archaic human genomes to support the hypothesis that vocal learning in Homo preceded the emergence of Anatomically Modern Humans. We build our claim on the evolutionary history of the SLITROBO GTPase 2 gene ( SRGAP2 ). The SLIT-ROBO molecular pathway has been shown to have an important role in the context of vocal learning. Though the rele...
