POWER POINTS ON BREASTS AND CHILD REARING PRACTICES
​

BREASTS  These are two PowerPoint presentations I use in my Human Variation and Adaptation course at the University of Delaware.  They provide a lot of information about the evolution and anatomy of breasts, typical variation in human breasts, and lactation/nursing in other mammals.  They are for informational purposes only, and should not be considered medical advice.  They are not to be copied and used by anyone else.
