Research on the genetic bases of language suggests that
a. there is a single gene, FOXP2, that accounts for the complexity and robustness of human language.
b. the gene FOXP2 is related to language and is probably the result of a mutation that occurred in our ancestors about 120,000 years ago.
c. humans and chimpanzees share the same versions of FOX2P and related genes.
d. there are no genes related to language and speech, despite previous claims.
Question 2
