“… larger mammals fewer offspring…” Walker et als, 2008
Slow growing … Late reproducing … Long lived … Large brained … Extreme immaturity after birth Short duration of breast feeding Extended period of dependence of the young beyond breast feeding Multigenerational resource support by older people Menopause and long postmenopausal life Hochberg, 2012

Brain Growth and Bipedalism … head and brain growth along with mental and motor development have
been deferred into the post natal period ( Leutenegger 1973).

Integrated responses to the predictive environment Likely response to a secure environment Likely response to a threatening environment
Investment for longevity (predictive response) Expenditure to survive to birth (immediate adaptive response) Commitment to repair Smaller birth size Commitment to tissue reserve (neuronal & nephron Prematurity number) Fetal sarcopenia Investment for large adult size (predictive response) Reproductive strategy (predictive response) Greater bone mass Altered time of menarche Greater muscle growth Investment to resist threatening and difficult environment
(predictive response) Altered hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis Increased behaviour, altered anxiety Increased propensity to store fat Central components Increased appetite Altered food preference Reduced motor behaviour Peripheral components Altered hepatic development and function Sarcopenia Altered insulin release and action Impaired action of GH and IGF factors Leptin resistance Altered endothelial function
