More recently, the question of behavioral homologies has been addressed by philosophers of science such as Marc Ereshefsky, [5] [6] psychologists such as Drew Rendall, [7] and neuroscientists such as Georg Striedter and Glenn Northcutt. [8] It is debatable whether the concept of homology is useful in developmental psychology. [9] [10] [11]
