Juvenile foraging among the Hadza: Implications for human life history (2013, background): “One of the most striking characteristics of human life history is a protracted juvenile period of growth and development (Bogin, 1997; Leigh, 2001; Robson, van Schaik, & Hawkes, 2006).”
Evolution and ontogeny of stress response to social challenges in the human child (2006, background): “The physical growth of the child, although unusual in its temporal pattern (Bogin, 1999; Leigh, 2001), does not appear to involve especially signiWcant challenges.”
Origins and Evolution of Genus Homo (2012, background): “…traits includes altricial birth, a large energy-expensive brain, long juvenile dependency with relatively late reproduction, short interbirth intervals (IBIs) with high fertility, and a long postreproductive life span (Bogin 1999; Flinn 2010; Hill and Hurtado 1996; Kaplan et al. 2000; Leigh 2001).”
Ecological dominance, social competition, and coalitionary arms races: Why humans evolved extraordinary intelligence. (2005, background): “…brains achieve adult size relatively early in life, suggesting a strong selective advantage for neural processing hardware to be in place early in ontogeny, probably to facilitate learning throughout childhood (Bjorklund & Pellegrini, 2002; Flinn & Ward, 2004; Leigh, 2001; but see Bogin, 1991).”
