Description: Evo-Devo of Child Growth : Treatise on Child Growth and Human Evolution, Hardcover by Hochberg, Ze'Ev, ISBN 1118027167, ISBN-13 9781118027165, Brand New, Free shipping in the US For evolutionary biologists and clinicians, Hochberg, a pediatric endocrinologist, analyzes child growth and development from the uniquely combined perspectives of evolutionary and developmental biology (evo-devo), from fetal development to preadulthood, and the transitions between life stages. Using life-history theory to understand child growth in an evolutionary perspective, he posits that life stages use hormones as a major tool and provide periods of adaptive plasticity that modify body structures and behaviors. Differences in gestation, the timing of the transition from infancy to childhood, and the transition to juvenility and adolescence influence these structures and behaviors and impact child growth disorders. Th also discusses evolutionary strategies for body size, energy considerations such as endocrine control of energy expenditure, and life-stage transitions and transgenerational influences, epigenetics, population genetics, and the DNA methylation pattern, with some of these sections contributed as notes by other clinicians and biologists.
