  • Coming out of an era of rapid advances in computer technology, the idea of a discrete, common origin to human language made intuitive sense.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Further study revealed that the FOXP2 gene is relevant to multiple mental abilities and is not strictly a language gene at all.
  • The same gene that regulated language so strongly also regulated other mental faculties, so its very existence appeared to contradict rather than strengthen the idea that language commands its own territory separate from other areas of the brain.
  • the language-as-island idea is also inconsistent with the way evolution typically works. “What I don’t like about the ‘module’ is the idea that it evolved from scratch somehow. In my view, it’s more that existing neural circuits have been adapted for language and speech.
  • language relies on a surprisingly broad neural support system
  • -month-old babies show activation in a number of different brain regions when they hear speech, inclu
  • ding in the cerebellum, which is important for coordinating motor movements
  • The problem with ‘gene for x’ or ‘grammar module y’ is they ignore how something that is the property of an individual is linked to something that is the property of a community
  • language is a distributed object
  • across the human brain and across generations of people

  • I am a girl whose mushy head is "hardwired" for girly things.
  • neuroscience is actually a mass of disciplines: neurology, physiology, psychology, molecular biology and genetics, all of them ramped up by new ways of imaging the brain
  • The interaction between the hemispheres is what counts, but this is less marketable stuff.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • All of them confirm what we already know, not what we could know.
  • brain scans are still blunt intruments
  • very clever doctors were more than happy to talk about what they did not know about the brain.
  • quasi-religious status
  • "neurosexism"
  • The truth is our brains are much more similar than they are different. That's not a headline you will ever read, is it? "Men and women: much the same!"

    Suzanne Moore argues vociforously against the recent overblown news that men and women's brains are wired differently.

    If you're looking to buy a verified Cash App account, there are a few things you need to know. First, Cash App accounts can only be verified by the person who created them. So, if you're looking to buy a verified account from someone else, they'll need to provide you with their login information. Second, when you create a Cash App account, you'll need to provide your full name, date of birth, and Social Security number. Once your account is created, you'll be able to add a bank account or debit card and start using the app.
