Evidence regarding the genetic bases of human language abilities comes from many sources, but none is as rich and reliable as the one that comes from infant speech perception studies. This contribution provides an overview of how research on infant speech perception informs the debate on the genetic basis of human language abilities. Speci fi cally, this contribution reviews fi ndings which document infants’ abilities to learn from pre- and postnatal experience, and fi ndings which strongly suggest that humans possess language-speci fi c abilities as part of their genetic makeup.
