Listen "The DNA of Rhythm: How Your Genes Connect Music and Language | New Research Reveals Evolutionary Link"

Episode Synopsis

What if your ability to dance and speak share the same genetic code? Groundbreaking research reveals how our genes orchestrate both the rhythm of music and the flow of language, revolutionizing our understanding of human evolution and learning disabilities.
Explore groundbreaking genetic research that uncovers the shared DNA foundations between musical rhythm and language processing. This episode dives deep into how 16 genomic regions connect our ability to keep a beat with our capacity to read and speak. Discover how this revolutionary study of over 1 million people could transform early detection of dyslexia and reshape music therapy. Join us as we unravel how brain connectivity, evolution, and genetics intersect to create the uniquely human abilities of music and speech.
