(2007, background): “Predictive adaptive response and evolutionary significance Gluckman and Hanson (2005) have put forward the concept of the ‘predictive adaptive response’ to explain the evolutionary purpose of epigenetic fetal changes in utero to prepare the offspring for the particular environment in which it will…”
