| Abstract
|
:
|
"New discoveries reveal how crucial interactions that determine our destiny occur before birth, when our genes interact with their environment as the embryo and fetus develop. The new concepts in this book are crucial to understanding the public health burden in societies undergoing rapid transition from poverty to affluence. They add an important new dimension to evolutionary theory. Synthesising developmental biology, evolutionary history, medical science, public health and social policy, this is a ground-breaking account by two of the world's leading pioneers in this emerging field."--Jacket.
