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 no evidence of recent adaptive evolution.
FOXP2 基因突变会导致言语和语言障碍，这引起了人们对该基因在人类进化中的潜在作用的兴趣。一项新的研究重新评估了人类 FOXP2 基因座的基因组变异，但没有发现最近适应性进化的证据。
