Because anthropology covers every aspect of human life and interaction numerous subfields and specializations have developed. One of the most poignant aspects to living, imho (can you tell now this isn't the completed 'copy'), communication, deserves special attention and rightfully so a branch of research called Linguistics has stemmed from this interest. Now in many ways the very idea of language splits the study further into compositions, verbalization, gesturing, and many other aspects, but it is the understanding of this researcher that verbalizations play the most important role in the modern era. Coupled with the greater connection (or connectivity as its 'called') to peers at real-time rates even the craft of small scale discourse can be played out on the virtual stage. Thereby some elements of speech have migrated into the composition (see netspeak, response videos, and im), and although this intrigues me "like whoa!" I am going in a different direction, one that aligns the other courses and deeper theory levels for this assignment. The science of anthropology also looks very closely at the evolution of we the high primates, and our biological processes.
Enter the foxp2 gene expression. The foxp2 gene is (you guessed it) number two of four genes that are being studied to observe their activity in regards to developing speech or the impingement of this process. Researchers in California that worked primarily with rats for the study ...
