Recent developments in behavioural neuroscience and genomics are
providing exciting new tools for understanding mammalian evolution.
Drawing on a range of disciplines including genomic reprogramming,
immunology, genomic imprinting, placentation and brain development,
this book examines the leading role played by the mother's genome
and epigenome in the successful evolutionary progression of humans
from ancestral mammals. Keverne begins by discussing the historic
context of the perceived dominance of males and the patriline,
before arguing that it is instead the matriline that exerts the
dominant influence in shaping the evolution of our brain
development and behaviour, especially the co-adaptive development
of brain and placenta. Presenting a balanced outlook on the
development of sex differences and an alternative to traditional
views, Beyond Sex Differences will be of interest to anyone
studying and researching mother and infant development.
