Which of the following conclusions is the most logical to draw from the fact that mice and songbirds have versions of the FOXP2 gene that is very similar to the form found in humans?

A) Mice and songbirds can use language to communicate.
B) The FOXP2 gene did not develop specifically as a result of language development during human evolution.
C) The FOXP2 gene is not involved in language.
D) The FOXP2 gene is solely responsible for the ability of humans to communicate.

Answer: B
Rationale: Evidence from studying members of the KE family suggests that the FOXP2 gene is involved in language. However, the fact that mice and songbirds have a version of the gene that is similar to that found in humans suggests that the gene was not created as a result of human evolution.
