Join Dr. Amanda Veile, biological anthropologist from Purdue University, to learn how #babies helped shape the evolution of human life! Human babies possess characteristics that are unique among mammals and even among other apes. Dr. Veile discusses the evolution of the human birthing mechanism, human-specific infant feeding behaviors, and how babies helped shape early human social organization.
Dr. Veile studies behavior & health patterns in Latin American indigenous populations. Her #research examines birthing practices, #breastfeeding ecology, and the epidemiologic factors that shape cross-cultural variation in child development. #anthropology
