Prader-Willi syndrome and the evolution of human childhood.

American journal of human biology : the official journal of the Human Biology Council - 1 Jan 2000

Haig David, Wharton Robert

Abstract excerpt

The kinship theory of genomic imprinting predicts that imprinted genes have effects on asymmetric kin (relatives with different degrees of matrilineal and patrilineal relatedness). The most important interaction with such a relative is a child's interaction with its mother. Therefore, the study of imprinted genes and their phenotypic effects promises to provide insights into the evolution of mother-child...
