Language Feature Unique To Human Brain Identified

A brief write up here: Language Feature Unique To Human Brain Identified tells us,

"'The human arcuate fasiculus differed from that of the rhesus macaques and chimpanzees in having a much larger and more widespread projection to areas in the middle temporal lobe, outside of the classical Wernicke's area. We know from previous functional imaging studies that the middle temporal lobe is involved with analyzing the meanings of words. In humans, it seems the brain not only evolved larger language regions but also a network of fibers to connect those regions, which supports humans' superior language capabilities."

. This may explain why it is that other primates don't seem to 'get' syntax; they don't have the means to deal with it.
