A General Evolution Landscape of Language and Cognition Genes
Author(s): Zhizhou Zhang*, Shuaiyu Zhang, Hongjie Zhou and Yongdong Xu*
The polymorphism profiles of Language Genes (LG) display differ rent patterns across various ancient and modern populations, leading to the speculation that Cognition Gene (CG) polymorphism profiles may exhibit similar trends. However, the evolutionary processes of Language Gene Polymorphism Patterns (LGPP) and Cognition Gene Polymorphism Patterns (CGPP) are likely to demonstrate distinct characteristics. In particular, it is intriguing to determine whether there is any overlap in the timing of significant changes in CGPP and LGPP over the large timescales of evolution. The potential existence of such overlap can also be assessed by examining whether the samples carrying significant changes in LGPP and CGPP are the same. This study investigated the genetic differences at 239 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) loci in 18 Language Genes (LG) and 223 SNP loci in 18 Cognition G.. View more»
