有没有“语言基因”的自然天择？

Has there been natural selection for a 'language gene'?

也许，这些语言是很久以前从同一种源语言发展而来的；也就是说，也许它们在“基因”上是有联系的，这就是梵语、拉丁语和希腊语的情况。

Maybe the languages developed from the same source language long ago, that is, maybe they are genetically related, that was what happened with Sanskrit, Latin and Greek.

然而，生物学家多年来都无法找到哪怕一条和语言有关的基因。

Yet for years biologists could not find a single gene involved in language.

More speculatively, there has been some fairly recent work studying the genetic basis of language, looking at the genes that are directly responsible for the capacity to learn and use language.

更具体的来说,一些最新的语言遗传基础研究,探查了直接影响语言学习,及使用能力的基因
