Overview

Educational aims

This article intends to present human evolutionary development in a different way to engender a better understanding of why humans are the way they are, to challenge the validity and rationales of some established treatment methods and perhaps shed light other more comfortable, effective and less invasive therapies.

·       Appreciate that a unique relationship results from the small dimensions of the human birth canal mandated by the survival requirements of upright bipodal locomotion and the evolutionary advantages of developing progressively larger human brains.
