🦜✨ What can unraveling songbird genomes tell us about human speech and vocal learning in other species?
Erich Jarvis, visionary and head of the Vertebrate Genomes Project, explains how genome comparisons reveal insights about vocal learners. 🗣️✨

The authors suggest this may have allowed “speech-relevant neurons to accommodate elevated levels of FOXP2 without toxicity associated with protein aggregation”. This reminded me of the discussion of Parvalbumin in this paper on vocal learning by @erichjarvis.bsky.social

Went for a walk to Central Park, New York and ran into a massive protest. Decided to join and document. Thousands of marchers were protesting everything the Trump administration and his supporters represent, walking around Trump Tower and then onto the park. I post the messages that resonated most.

NOVA1, a neuron-specific RNA binding protein & splicing factor, likely impacted language function in human evolution. Human NOVA1 is unique (vs mammals, Neanderthals), & it changes vocalization in CRISPR’d mice!
