The genomic era, started in 2001 con il completamento del sequenziamento del genoma umano, ha aperto nuove strade alla ricerca sulla storia evolutiva degli organismi. Il campo della genomica da allora ha visto avanzamenti tecnici continui, It is in the 2010 si è riusciti ad ottenere una prima “bozza” (poi migliorata) del genoma dell’Homo Neanderthalensis, una specie umana estinta vissuta tra i 200.000 e i 40.000 Years ago. In 2010 inoltre si aggiunge un nuovo “parente” al nostro albero evolutivo, con la scoperta dell’Homo di Denisova, vissuto tra i 70.000 e i 40.000 Years ago. […]

Often neuroscientists and have not wondered if the brains of leading scientific and intellectual figures in human history had something special, something different from the average. Some controversial studies, for example, have been done on the brain of Albert Einstein, whose remains are kept at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, vicino a Washington, D.C. Ricostruzione del cervello di Cartesio (Copyright C. Philippe et al. Journal of the Neurological Sciences 378, (15 July 2017) © Elsevier B.V) In a study published in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences, un gruppo di scienziati francesi si è spinto [...]

Human language is still today one of the most complex aspects of cognition to study and understand. What are the biological bases that allow a child to acquire at least one language only by being exposed to it? When did this ability emerge in the human species? Which genes and molecular processes are involved? How the competence of a language is implemented at the neural level? These are some of the questions that linguists have, psychologists, biology, paleoanthropologists and neuroscientists have been asking themselves for at least half a century [1]. In the second half of the 90s in some members of a British family, the so-called "KE family", è stata identificata una [...]
