Mice With a Human Gene Started Squeaking Differently. Could This Tiny Genetic Mutation Explain the Origin of Speech?

In a lab at Rockefeller University in New York, a mouse squeaks. But this is no ordinary squeak. It is a strange, complex sound, unlike anything heard from a mouse before. The difference lies in a single gene — a gene that may hold the key to one of humanity’s most defining traits: the ability to speak.

Mice With a Human Gene Mutation Start ‘Talking’ Differently—And It Might Be Why We Speak

A new study has revealed that a single genetic mutation, found in all modern humans but absent in Neanderthals and Denisovans, could have played a role in the evolution of speech and language. The research,

Scientists Put a Human Language Gene Into Mice And Changed Their Voice

A new contender for a human 'language gene' can change the way that mice squeak when it is incorporated into their DNA. The gene is called NOVA1, and in our own species, it is remarkably unique. While virtually all other mammals have the same NOVA1 variant in their genetic code,
