It has been said that humans are born three months early. This is not accurate. It was thought that our body size predicted a 12 month gestation, and some &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2010/10/22/what-is-the-most-important-hum/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">What is the most important human adaptation?</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
