Hormones and human developmental plasticity.

Molecular and cellular endocrinology - 5 Apr 2020

Ponzi Davide, Flinn Mark V, Muehlenbein Michael P, Nepomnaschy Pablo A

Abstract excerpt

Natural selection favors the evolution of mechanisms that optimize the allocation of resources and time among competing traits. Hormones mediate developmental plasticity, the changes in the phenotype that occur during ontogeny. Despite their highly conserved functions, the flexibilities of human hormonal systems suggest a strong history of adaptation to variable environments. Physiological research on...
