Researchers find gene variant NOVA1 in humans may contribute to the evolution of speech.
Researchers at Rockefeller University introduced a unique human gene variant, NOVA1, into mice, resulting in more complex vocalizations.
This gene, which affects other genes involved in vocal behavior, is present in modern humans but absent in Neanderthals and Denisovans.
The study suggests NOVA1 may play a role in the evolution of human speech and language, though more research is needed to confirm this.
