Patterns of growth and development in the genus Homo /
Our earliest human ancestors grew more like modern apes than present-day humans. When, how and why did our modern pattern evolve, therefore? This book, covering growth patterns in Plio-Pleistocene adults and juveniles, including Homo antecessor, provides a rich data source for future research.
