Hierarchies in the energy budget: Thyroid hormones and the evolution of human life history patterns

The evolution of human life history characteristics required dramatic shifts in energy allocation mechanisms compared with our primate ancestors. Thyroid hormones, such as thyroxine (T4) and triiod...
