Human development covers the various stages of human life:
This tutorial elaborates on the physical development of humans, particularly from puberty to adulthood. Read this tutorial to know the specific physical changes that female and male bodies undergo as they turn into adults...
Developmental biology is a biological science that is primarily concerned with how a living thing grows and attains maturity. The tutorials included here focuses on human growth and development. Thus, one can expect to learn about human zygote developing and maturing into adulthood after these tutorials. Also included here are informative guides on dietary sources..
Humans are capable of only one mode of reproduction, i.e. sexual reproduction. Haploid sex cells (gametes) are produced so that at fertilization a diploid zygote forms. This tutorial is an in-depth study guide regarding male and female reproductive physiology...
A balanced diet is essential to a healthy organism. Insufficiency or too much of a particular element or compound, such as vitamins, in the body could disrupt the normal physiological activities. To know more about this topic, read this tutorial...
Control of Growth & Development tutorials look at how the genetic makeup determines the biological processes on a day to day basis. Various hormones are also described. Animals and plants produce hormones to incite and regulate their growth. However, growth is not only genetic and hormonal in nature. It may also depend on external factors,..
The hominid family diversified from the apes around 6 to 8 million years ago. Since then, the evolutionary path has proved to be nothing short of phenomenal. This tutorial elucidates the emergence of the hominid family from where the human ancestral line came from...
