But the case might have been overstated seeing that a staggeringly statistical phenotypic regularity suggests an almost complete lack of variation, throughout the cultural/linguistic explosion of human history. In the case of language itself, it is of course possible that mutations in the genetic code might have resulted in the human species’ knack for language. The occurrence of the FoxP2 gene in human and non-human animals, a gene associatedix with language use and language learning, is incredibly suggestive. But, such findings must be met with critical common sense: correlation here is only suggestive. Churchland is quick to point out that phenotypic variation like ZY
