The chapter is devoted to the description of the genetic foundations of language. From a close comparison with the positions of the CBM on FOXP2, updated through the findings of the latest experimental research, the DBM is also addressing the issues of fossilized variety of genes which have been attenuated, disappeared, modified or are completely new and that may have arisen from the historical evolution of Homo sapiens. The last part of the chapter is devoted to population genetics and the relationships that connect biological to cultural evolution. © Springer International Publishing AG 2016.

Abstract
The chapter is devoted to the description of the genetic foundations of language. From a close comparison with the positions of the CBM on FOXP2, updated through the findings of the latest experimental research, the DBM is also addressing the issues of fossilized variety of genes which have been attenuated, disappeared, modified or are completely new and that may have arisen from the historical evolution of Homo sapiens. The last part of the chapter is devoted to population genetics and the relationships that connect biological to cultural evolution. © Springer International Publishing AG 2016.File in questo prodotto:
