Greater neuronal immaturity in the human newborn than in any other primate species. Paedomorphism • Brain development and maturity extended until the youth period. • Stability of the breeding couple (child survival) • Greater post-breeding longevity than any other species (extended contact among generations) • Lahdenpera et al., 2004.

Contingencia Fragilidad Complejidad “... los hombres no pueden vivir sin intentar conseguir una descripción y una explicación del universo en que viven; las explicaciones que se dan a sí mismos, determinan las actitudes, valores, fines... y la clase de moral en la que organizan y dan sentido a sus vidas...” I. Berlín (1909-1997)
Vulnerable: Susceptible de ser herido o vulnerado, de recibir un daño o perjuicio o de ser afectado, conmovido, convencido o vencido por algo que se expresa. María Moliner Diccionario del uso del español
Un individuo es un elemento que tiende a mantener su identidad independientemente de la incertidumbre del entorno. (J. Wagensberg)
