Despite recent progress toward sexual equality, it's still a man's world
in many ways. But numerous studies show that when it comes to language,
girls
start off with better skills than boys.
Now, scientists studying a
gene linked to the evolution of vocalizations and language have for the
first time found
clear sex differences in its activity in both rodents and humans,
with the gene making more of its protein in girls.
But some researchers
caution against
drawing too many conclusions about the gene's role in human and
animal communication from this study.
