In the Feb 2025 issue of @naturehumbehav.bsky.social, we integrate data from largescale genome scans of dyslexia & rhythm skills, as a novel way to study biological overlaps between human traits related to language & musicality. Just one part of the excellent PhD work of @gokberkalagoz.bsky.social.🧪
The shared genetic architecture and evolution of human language and musical rhythm - Nature Human Behaviour
Using a battery of statistical tools, Alagöz et al. examine the genetic overlap between dyslexia and rhythm impairment and shed light on how the genome influences the neural bases of human language an...

I often see misunderstandings & confusion (in media but also scientific literature) over what studies of the FOXP2 gene can & cannot tell us about human evolution. Here's a short commentary I wrote a few years ago for @currentbiology.bsky.social with aim of clarifying for a general readership. 🧬🗣️🧪
Human Genetics: The Evolving Story of FOXP2
FOXP2 mutations cause a speech and language disorder, raising interest in potential
roles of this gene in human evolution. A new study re-evaluates genomic variation
at the human FOXP2 locus but finds...

New preprint! 🧠🚀
Our study dives into how toddlers’ brains start to specialize for language—revealing that by age 2, the left inferior frontal region already shows adult-like language selectivity.
