SOMETING ABOUT FOXP2

How important is for human beings to understand how language was produced as a magic conjure inside our brains. Nobody is coconscious about where, when, how and who makes that possible but everyone enjoys and uses it. In spite of animals whose brains seems to be squeezed to evolution while humans brains have given giant steps in advanced, for example developing our speech ability.

Probably it was a gift given by a superior force, probably humans were equipped with special devises to acquire it unconsciously, but probably the responsible of this incredible and perfect process is Foxp2 gene. This gene and protein is directly related to speech human development. According to Enard (2002) foxpo2 molecular evolution is directly implied with language and speech.

However, scientists have found that this gene can be presented in all mammals, because they have discovered a similar gene that controls other organs in their bodies, which is also presented in humans’ lungs and guts and in specific areas of their brains. What it is true is the fact that a genetic modification was needed to adapt biologically human beings for producing language, as in their phonological system as in their brains. Researchers have found that Neanderthals had that gene presented in their genetics but it has to produce several modifications during human evolution.
