The massive global variation in caesarean-section (C-section) rate is usually attributed to socio-economic, medical and cultural heterogeneity. Here, we show that a third of the variance current national C-section can be explained by trends adult body height from 1970s 1990s. In many countries, living conditions have continually improved during last century, which has led an increase both fetal average size. As fetus one generation ahead mother, likely experience better environmental...
Abstract Brain and skull tissues interact through molecular signalling mechanical forces during head development, leading to a strong correlation between the neurocranium external brain surface. Therefore, when tissue is unavailable, neurocranial endocasts are often used approximate size shape. Evolutionary changes in morphology may have resulted secondary morphology, but developmental genetic processes underlying this relationship not well understood. Using automated phenotyping methods, we...
