FOXP2 expression in the evolution of language derives from its role in allowing vocal articulation that is sensitive to its consequences. The discrete verbal discourse it allows must have evolved recently relative to affective features of vocal behavior such as tone of voice. Because all organ systems must have evolved in the service of behavior, attention is given to ways in which environments may have driven brain organization.
FOXP2 基因在语言进化中的表达源于其在允许对发声结果敏感的发声方面的作用。与声音语调等发声行为的情感特征相比，FOXP2 允许的离散言语表达一定是最近才进化出来的。由于所有的器官系统都必须为行为服务，因此我们关注环境可能驱动大脑组织的方式。
