Developing From Conception

Scientists look at brain development in babies:

And rather than the conventional way in which people talk about the onset of walking, the researchers started the clock at conception. For humans, that would add about nine months to this walking clock.

Sure enough, they saw a pattern that could mostly be explained by differences in brain mass. The fact that the pattern only showed up when looking at the time from conception suggests brain development occurs along this continuum that extends from conception through early development out of the womb, Garwicz said.

The human continuum. From conception on. Shall we call feminists deniers of science?
