Resum
The Human Genome Project has provided the first contributions to the knowledge of the biological bases of human behavior, and perhaps represents the birth of a new scientific discipline: cognitive genetics. In recent years we have identified several genes that appear to be directly involved in the biological origin of human language, as well as some of its pathologies, but it is necessary to determine how these genes influence language development or cognition, and what mechanisms cause an alteration of these genes give rise to a pathology. Do not understand the subject from the reductionist point of view, "one gene, one character" because, as the language most of the phenotypic manifestations are the result of genotype and environment in which develop (multifactorial).
