DESCRIPTION:Dr. Faraneh Vargha-Khadem\, professor of developmental cognitiv
 e neuroscience and head\, Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Unit\, Inst
 itute of Child Health\, University College London\, as well as consultant 
 in neuropsychology\, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. The turn o
 f this century marks the discovery of the first gene associated with the u
 nique human ability of speech and language. This discovery\, proving that 
 our ability to speak lies in our genes\, was made possible through a serie
 s of neuropsychological\, neuroimaging and genetic investigations of the l
 arge three-generational KE family\, half of whose members are affected wit
 h a speech and language disorder. This lecture tells the story of how the 
 gene\, called FOXP2\, was discovered\, the brain circuitry that it support
 s\, and some of the evidence regarding how and when it evolved. The lectur
 e will also trace the implications of this particular aspect of our evolut
 ion for the development of human culture.\n
