Evolution points to genes involved in birth timing: New gene may increase risk for preterm birth

By on Monday, April 18th, 2011 | No Comments

Evolution points to genes involved in birth timing: New gene may increase risk for preterm birth Evolutionary changes that make us uniquely human — such as our large heads and narrow pelvises — may have “pushed” human birth timing earlier and can be used to identify genes associated with preterm birth, a new study suggests.
