## Abstract Among the primates, __Homo sapiens__ has evolved a life history which includes long gestation, relatively slow growth to reproductive maturity, and large body size. While the slow growth rate may be linked to the energetic demands of having a large brain, there are other important morph

The mere appearance of a tubular, epithelially-covered, bilateral structure, no matter how minuscule, on the anteroventral nasal septum of tetrapods, is generally called the vomeronasal organ (of Jacobson). However, considering the functionality of this chemosensory structure, the presence of a non-
Travel costs can influence numerous aspects of the lives of primates, including net energy balance (and therefore reproductive success of females) and maximum group size. Despite their potential impact, there has been no systematic comparison of different measures of travel distance. We compared thr
Testicular carcinomas, pediatric tumors, and some mesenchymal tumors are examples of rapidly proliferating cell populations, for which the tumor volume doubling time (TVDT) can be counted in days. Cancers from the breast, prostate, and colon are frequently slow-growing, displaying a TVDT of months o
