  2. Neoteny in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny_in_humans

    Neoteny in humans is further indicated by the limbs and body posture, with the limbs proportionately short compared to torso length; [2] longer leg than arm length; [6] the structure of the foot; [1] and the upright stance. [7] [8] Humans also retain a plasticity of behavior that is generally found among animals only in the young. The emphasis ...

  3. Neoteny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny

    Neoteny in humans is the slowing or delaying of body development, compared to non-human primates, resulting in features such as a large head, a flat face, and relatively short arms. These neotenic changes may have been brought about by sexual selection in human evolution .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolutionary...

    Steven J. Gould discussed the presentation of neoteny with "terminal additions" in humans. [8] Neoteny is defined as the delayed or slowed development in humans when compared with their non-human primate counterparts. The "terminal additions" were extensions or reductions in the rate and scope of stages of development and growth.

  8. Sexual selection in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_selection_in_humans

    Sexual selection is quite different in non-human animals than humans as they feel more of the evolutionary pressures to reproduce and can easily reject a mate. [2] The role of sexual selection in human evolution has not been firmly established although neoteny has been cited as being caused by human sexual selection. [ 3 ]

  9. Heterochrony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochrony

    In chimpanzee fetuses, brain and head growth starts at about the same developmental stage and grow at a rate similar to that of humans, but growth stops soon after birth, whereas humans continue brain and head growth several years after birth. This particular type of heterochrony, hypermorphosis, involves a delay in the offset of a ...
