Is it true that the human brain is hardwired for language?
Unclear. Several sources assert or suggest that the brain is innately wired for language, including a peer-reviewed paper on hardwired speech processing and a textbook-style page on innate language acquisition. All of these support the idea only partially or as hypothesis and assertion, not as a demonstrated general fact.
