AbstractIn evolutionary ecology, two classes of explanations are frequently invoked to explain "early life effects" on adult outcomes. Developmental constraints (DC) explanations contend that costs of early adversity arise from limitations adversity places on optimal development.

The genetic distance between two species captures key information about both their shared evolutionary history and their distinguishing characteristics. These features have long been of particular interest to students of human evolution, where the search for the changes that ‘make humans unique’ necessitates an understanding of how unique, exactly, we are. At the genetic level, part of that answer now comes from comparisons between modern humans and archaic hominins.
