The gene coding for the forkhead box protein P2 (FOXP2) is associated with human
language disorders. Evolutionary changes in this gene are hypothesized to have contributed …

The forkhead box P2 gene, designated FOXP2, is the first gene implicated in a speech and
language disorder. Since its discovery, many studies have been carried out in an attempt to …

Forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) is a highly conserved transcription factor that has been implicated
in human speech and language disorders and plays important roles in the plasticity of the …

Most vertebrates communicate acoustically, but few, among them humans, dolphins and
whales, bats, and three orders of birds, learn this trait. FOXP2 is the first gene linked to …

FOXP2, the first gene causally linked to a human language disorder, is implicated in song
acquisition, production, and perception in oscine songbirds, the evolution of speech and …

FOXP2, initially identified for its role in human speech, contains two nonsynonymous
substitutions derived in the human lineage. Evidence for a recent selective sweep in Homo …

Mutations in FOXP2, a member of the forkhead family of transcription factor genes, are the
only known cause of developmental speech and language disorders in humans. To date …

The human capacity to acquire sophisticated language is unmatched in the animal kingdom.
Despite the discontinuity in communicative abilities between humans and other primates …
