It is very interesting to hear about this gene because I have never read or known about it. I didn't even think that existed genes of language. So it is surprising for me to know that there is a gen call FOXP2, which is related to the speaking in a person. So all the problems for speaking a language are because this gen is modified?

I think this is a revolutionary discovery for Neurolinguistics studies, because until know all the language problems were because of deficiency of human brain.  Likewise it is very curious for me to know that this gen could have a thousand of years of antiquity and I have just read a little bit about it.

I don't know, I am very confused about everything, Fox P2 changes my mind about the innate ability of the language in only human beings because, if animals have this gen too, it is possible that in some time, if scientist get how to modify this gen in animals, they could start developing the ability to apeak.

Kind of strange, revolutionary and amazing sounds the discovery of FOXP2  to me!
