Ok, nit picky question - or maybe science is furter along than my reading but when they say "Neuroscientists understand the structural bases of some of these qualities. Take language, that uniquely human behavior. Underlining it are structures unique to the human brain — regions like “Broca’s area,” which specializes in language production." that seems an over statement to me. We know WHERE something "lights up" under MRI, and we know regions of the brain that when fucked with by accident, stroke, etc., cause problems (ie., learning the Broca is critical for language production" is not really the same as saying we understand teh "structural basis", is it?
