    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: If the earliest human ancestors grew more like apes than like humans today, when, how and why did our modern growth patterns evolve? This book focuses on species within the genus Homo to investigate the evolutionary origins of characteristic human patterns and rates of craniofacial and postcranial growth and development.
