  • 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.

  • ding in the cerebellum, which is important for coordinating motor movements

    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.
