Consider the first gene, known as FOXP2, to be unambiguously tied to language. Rather than emerging from scratch in the course of human evolution, FOXP2 has been evolving for several hundred million years in a way that placed it perfectly for evolving a critical role in language acquisition. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.columbusdispatch.com/science/science.php?story=dispatch/2006/04/18/20060418-D5-05.html" target="blank">www.columbusdispatch.com/science/science.php?story=dispatch/2006/04/18/20060418-D5-05.html</a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
