How do we understand and explain the apparent dichotomy between
plasticity and robustness in the context of development? Can we
identify these complex processes without resorting to 'either/or'
solutions? Written by two leaders in the field, this is the first
book to fully unravel the complexity of the subject, explaining
that the epigenetic processes generating plasticity and robustness
are in fact deeply intertwined. It identifies the different
mechanisms that generate robustness and the various forms of
plasticity, before considering the functional significance of the
integrated mechanisms and how the component processes might have
evolved. Finally, it highlights the ways in which epigenetic
mechanisms could be instrumental in driving evolutionary change.
Essential reading for biologists and psychologists interested in
epigenetics and evolution, this book is also a valuable resource
for biological anthropologists, sociobiologists, child
psychologists and paediatricians.
