Heterochronic phenomena are processes by which changes in the timing, rate, and duration of an ancestral pattern of growth and development result in changes in descendants. There are approximately six types of heterochrony, though there can also be overlap between the various types and among species. One of the six types of heterochrony is neoteny, in which a descendant’s slower rate of development causes it to be an immature or truncated expression of its ancestor. Humans are an example of neoteny when compared with ancestral primates. |
