Foundations of Cognitive Psychology: Core Readings

However, the majority of human genes did not appear spontaneously in our species (Varki & Altheide, 2005). So, after human studies have identified a gene implicated in speech and language, an obvious next step is to examine the broader evolutionary history of the gene and assess whether its function(s) in nonspeaking species can be informative for understanding its contributions to human brain development (Fisher & Marcus, 2006). , 2008). Researchers have investigated neural expression patterns for most of these species, determining where and when the gene is transcribed and/or translated in developing and mature brain tissue.
