This was a very interesting study done to compare the way the Zebra Finch songbird learns to sing, through imitating a parent and the correllation between those genomes and those of human babies. The study finds that those who have trouble with speech and language could have the same genomes present that affect those skills as those found in the Zebra Finch songbirds when they have difficulty imitating the songs of their parents.
