A new study suggests the beginnings of human speech are linked to genetics. The research identifies a protein – found only in people – that may have helped early humans develop spoken communication.
Scientists involved in the study say this new speaking ability became important for humans’ survival.

These abilities are now seen as an advantage humans had over their relatives, such as the Neanderthals and Denisovans.
The researchers recently published their findings in a study in the journal Nature Communications.
