Fox P2 - Das Sprach-Gen des modernen Menschen

Reportage von Wolfgang Meschede mit Wolfgang Enard vom Max-Plank-Institut für Evolutionäre Anthropologie. Das Fox P2 Gen ist ein belegbarer (Mit-)Verursacher der Zungenmuskulatur, Grundlage zur Bildung komplexer Sprachlaute der vor maximal 200.000 Jahren auftauchte und somit dem (anatomisch) modernen Menschen zuzurechnen ist. 00:09 min Humans from different parts of the planet all have a common Fox-P2 gen. Genetics know the great importance of genes that are wide-spread through out many different races. And with Fox-P2 thats the case. 00:27 min But the Fox-P2 of a chimpansee looks slightly different than that of a human. Wolfgang Enard (Quote) "Small differences in a gen can have strong effects. We know this, as a small difference can make you sick or even lead to death. And in this way we can become aware of how small differences have lead us to become human". 00:53 min Fox-P2 must have played a small, but important role in our evolutionary process, something that was a survival-enhancement, but what was it? Wolfgang Enard (Quote) "In our understanding the change to which Fox-P2 lead is language. Spoken language developed to a more perfect use of muscles and toung, so a better spoken language would develop." 01:21 min Was the development of cheek and throat-muscles sufficient enough for humans to suddenly speak? Wolfgang Enard (Quote) "A few basics are needed to have evolutionary gains by Fox-P2, a larger brain than our ancestors for example, or the ability to symbolic abstract thoughts." 01:46 min Although the eary humanoid had these abilities allready, language was invented much later! Wolfgang Enard (Quote) "We have discovered that Fox-P2 became an evolutionary tool in relativ recent times, not longer than 200.000 years ago. And therefore it lies within the time of modern man, Homo Sapiens Sapiens." 02:14 min Modern man developed in the african grasslands, so here he must have startedto speak. "And the man has spread from out Africa all over the world and brought language with him, so today we all can speak.." Nearly 5 million years our language barely differed from chimpansee, but then tiny differences in our genetics lead to turn us into a verbal being.
