Mice talk differently after scientists insert a human language gene
Saturday, 26 April 2025 () Researchers have made a significant discovery by inserting a human-specific gene, NOVA1, into mice, leading to notable changes in their vocal communication. The modified mice produced higher-pitched sounds and a diverse range of vocal patterns. This suggests that subtle genetic variations, like the one in NOVA1, could have significantly influenced the development of human language and communication abilities during evolution.
Could a single gene mutation truly bridge the gap between animal sounds and human language? As mice carrying the human NOVA1 gene produce altered vocalizations, profound questions emerge. Did language..
