Language evolution and genetics

2025-01-23

Abstract excerpt

<p>The intersection between genetics and linguistics is contributing to improve our understanding of language evolution. Phylogenetic and ancient DNA studies, when coupled to functional genetics are clarifying how our language-ready brain and our speech organs emerged because of selected changes in genetic and epigenetic signalling controlling development. Population genetics using past and present-day human sampl...
