NNIW 102 - Session 1, Ep1. Human growth patterns – an evolutionary and cross-species perspective.
Update: 2024-12-09
Description
Dr. Andrew Prentice explains how human growth patterns, shaped by evolutionary adaptations like bipedalism and larger brains, result in slower growth rates compared to other mammals. This allows extended brain development and learning, with breastfeeding playing a vital role. These evolutionary insights highlight the importance of tailored nutrition and care to support child growth and cognitive development.
