Abstract

The two-tiered model of developmental plasticity is elegant and presented with impressive interdisciplinary synthesis. We suggest that yet more - social context and nutrition behavior - will need to be incorporated into empirical research. Drawing from anthropology, nutrition, and neuroscience, we highlight connections that may help generate new approaches for studying the developmental calibration of life history in humans.
