Fetal programming: adaptive life-history tactics or making the best of a bad start?

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

Jones James Holland

Abstract excerpt

Fetal programming is an ontogenetic phenomenon of increasing interest to human biologists. Because the downstream consequences of fetal programming have clear impacts on specific life-history traits (e.g., age at first reproduction and the general age-pattern of reproductive investments), a numbe...
