From birds to humans: how vocal learning can resolve the genetics and evolution of human language
Post Doc
University of Copenhagen
Chiara Bortoluzzi, PhD student, Department of Biology, has been awarded a Lundbeck Foundation postdoc grant worth DKK 1,599,854. Her research project is devoted to the study of genetic factors in songbirds and seeks to identify genetic elements that enable vocal learning in songbirds – in other words, elements that enable them to learn to sing. The question is whether the same genetic elements help regulate human linguistic ability.
