Gene explains dumb apes
Great apes lack nuts and bolts of language gene.
HELEN PEARSON Chimpanzees lack key parts of a language gene that is
critical for human speech, say researchers. The finding may begin to
explain why only humans use spoken language.
Last year scientists identified the first gene, called FOXP2, linked to
human language. People with mistakes in this gene have severe difficulties
with speech and grammar1.
Now Svante Pääbo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
in Leipzig, Germany, and his colleagues have compared human FOXP2 with the
versions of the gene found in the chimpanzee, gorilla, orang-utan, rhesus
macaque and mouse.
