Timescales of Human Adaptation: The Role of Epigenetic Processes

1 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

Human biology includes multiple adaptive mechanisms that allow adjustment to varying timescales of environmental change. Sensitive or critical periods in early development allow for the transfer of environmental information between generations, which helps an organism track gradual environmental change. There is growing evidence that offspring biology is responsive to experiences encoded in maternal biology and...
