Im Learning a new word today but I still dont understand after looking up. Could you clarify context?
Well, human skeletal gracility compared to other hominides. There was a study years ago, that human still sexually selects for even more gracility (on average), while already getting to the point, where the bones get too thin to properly support their other roles in metabolism.
Ah, and about the "evolution slowing" part being bullshit; maybe 10 years ago already? Other studies that disproved the myth.
Ok I see how this word applies now.
Cheers!
