Language Gene Polymorphism Patterns: Important Information on Human Evolution
Author(s): Wei Xia and Zhizhou Zhang*
The difference in Language Gene Polymorphism Pattern (LGPP) between human and other primates may help to provide novel useful knowledge for language learning and human evolution. One of important findings from many years worldwide research is that the primates like chimpanzees cannot easily recognize language grammars (even words). In this study, 189 SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) in 13 language genes were scanned in 29 whole genomes from different human and primates populations. The 19 distinct SNPs in primates genomes were pointed out in several language genes including TPK1 that correlates with human’ s syntactic and lexical ability. Principle component analysis found that LGPPs for primates were highly aggregated together but they are distant from human’s; representative human samples displayed high dispersion levels from each other in the context of LG..
